Summary:
"Set in medieval Denmark and spoken in a modern tongue with a poetic twist, [the film] recalibrates the classic Shakespearean tragedy of 'Hamlet' so that its unspoken, complex heroine may share her own story. As a rebellious and motherless child, Ophelia ... is taken into Elsinore Castle by Queen Gertrude ... as one of her most trusted ladies-in-waiting. Soon enough, Ophelia captures the affections of the young Prince Hamlet ... In secret, a passionate romance ignites between the two as the kingdom is on the brink of war amidst its own political intrigue and betrayal. When Hamlet's father is murdered, and the prince's wits begin to unravel into an insatiable quest for vengeance, Ophelia sharply navigates the rules of power in Denmark all while struggling to choose between her true love and her own life."-- Container
