family life in England to lead the struggle to bring democracy to
her native country, and put an end to the violence, corruption and

Stephen Frears' critically acclaimed portrait of the English
Monarch in time of strife. One of the most turbulent times in
British politics in recent memory seen from an insider's
perspective - an almost documentary look at the relationship
between the figurehead and the brains behind the UK. It's 1997 and
Tony Blair's Labour Government has just won an election, ending 18
years of Conservative rule. Blair the firebrand (Michael Sheen)
must introduce himself to the Queen (Helen Mirren) and ask
permission to govern the country. The stone-faced Regina, in
accepting, gives him not a millimeter of slack, silently
underscoring the fact she's in charge. Shortly thereafter, the
former Princess of Wales, wife of Elizabeth's son and heir, is
killed in Paris. The Queen's initial reaction is to hold ranks and
treat Diana as an outsider, being that she has left the royal
household. Blair senses the coming landslide of public opinion
against this course of action and tries, as hard as a new boy can,
to make her majesty see sense. The question of who's truly in
charge comes to the fore.
