The Girl King

"The Girl King" is a historical drama that tells the story of Queen Kristina of Sweden, who ascended to the throne at the age of six and fought against the conservative forces that opposed her ideas to modernize Sweden. Raised as a prince under a strict Lutheran education, Kristina grew up with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to bring peace to her country. She faced opposition from the church and the royal court, who saw her as a threat to their power and traditional ways. As she navigated the treacherous waters of politics, Kristina also discovered her own sexuality and fell in love with her countess, Ebba Sparre. The film follows Kristina's journey as she struggles to balance her personal desires with her duty to her country and her people. With a strong cast, including Malin Buska as Kristina and Sarah Gadon as Ebba Sparre, "The Girl King" is a powerful and thought-provoking portrait of a fascinating historical figure.
