A claustrophobic, elegiac three-hour descent into the final months of a woman trapped by patriarchal power, where the outcome is known and the tension lies in watching her agency erode.

The final months of Anne Boleyn's life, her struggle with Tudor England's patriarchal society, her desire to secure a future for her daughter, Elizabeth, and the brutal reality of her failure to provide Henry with a male heir.
