The latest film by Yorgos Lanthimos ("Lobster", "Killing the holy deer"), awarded with 5 Golden Globe nominations, the Audience Award at the Camerimage Festival and two prizes at the Venice Festival in 2018. Beginning of the 18th Century. England is at war with the French, but the attention of the court is absorbed by duck racing and the emergence of pineapples on the market. Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) is sitting on the throne, and the country is ruled by her close friend, Lady Sarah (Oscar-winning Rachel Weisz). With admirable devotion, she looks after the eager and impetuous queen. A new servant Abigail (Oscar-winning Emma Stone) arrives at the court, which charms Sarah with her charm. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees this as a chance to return to her aristocratic roots. As political matters and waging war more and more absorb Sarah, Abigail gradually takes her place alongside Queen Anne. A flourishing friendship with the queen gives Abigail a chance to fulfill her ambitions. The girl comes to the conclusion that she will not let anyone or anything - whether it be a woman, a man, a politician or a rabbit - stand in her way.
