The Queen (2006)

Plot Summary

A story in a political key that reflects the impact of the death of Princess Diana, both from the point of view of Queen Elizabeth II and the English Prime Minister, Tony Blair. A dramatic chess game where the English institutions are put aside and the nuances of those who embody them are exposed, which may cause social repudiation or the accompaniment of collective grief.
