Synopsis

In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII (Jude Law), is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.

When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine’s childhood friend with treason and burning her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival.

With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?
