The Girl King Page #6

Synopsis: An enigmatic young woman in conflict - torn between reason and passion; between her woman's body and being raised as a prince; between the ancient and modern worlds and between the brilliance of her educated mind and the conservative forces around her. Crowned Queen at the age of six, Kristina of Sweden was thrust into a labyrinth of power and tradition, where a court of austere, Lutheran men pressure her to marry and produce an heir to fulfill her destiny. She finds sanctuary and love with her lady-in-waiting, the beautiful and elegant, countess Ebba Sparre, although the Chancellor, Axel Oxenstierna, pressures her to pair with his son, Johan. Soon the forces around the Queen realize that Ebba is the key to controlling her, but they underestimate Kristina's brilliant mind and her drive to be free.

the prince heir,

to the throne, of Sweden.

[CHUCKLES]

She made him... her son...

She made him her son.

I have come to bid you farewell.

My faithful Erika.

Your servant, Madam.

Simply your servant.

Do you think my father

would forgive me?

I don't know

if forgiveness exists.

I don't know, Madam.

A great success, father!

She's leaving with

a quarter of Sweden's wealth.

Ten years on the throne,

Ten years of... whims.

She said she never wanted

to submit herself to a man

now she's off to kiss the ring

of the most powerful man of all.

The Pope!

A great success, father!

I hope the Pope

enjoys her company.

She's only 28 years old.

She has her whole life

ahead of her,

enough time to put the rest

of Christianity through hell.

I saved Sweden.

I saved Sweden?

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Madam!

[BABY COOS]

(DESCARTES)

To attain the truth in life...

We must discard

all the ideas we were taught

and reconstruct the entire

system of our knowledge.
