A melancholic, intimate retelling of Hamlet's tragedy from Ophelia's perspective, centered on her romantic entanglement and struggle for agency amid court corruption.

Ophelia comes of age as lady-in-waiting for Queen Gertrude, and her singular spirit captures Hamlet's affections. As lust and betrayal threaten the kingdom, Ophelia finds herself trapped between true love and controlling her own destiny.
