Uppsala Castle, 1649. Queen Christine, more masculine than her men of war, more erudite than her scholars, brings René Descartes to her kingdom to teach her the mechanism of the passions that inhabit the soul. Torn between the masculine and the feminine, between faith and knowledge, between her love for a woman and the State which demands an heir, she seeks the truth, her truth–despite the rapacity of the nobles, the ardour of the suitors, her mother's madness, and, above all, despite the outbursts of her own passions.
