"Maria, Queen of Scots" is a record of the difficult charismatic life of Maria Stuart. At the age of 16, she became the queen of France, widowed at 18, feeling the strong pressure of her surroundings to remarry. Instead, Maria returns to her native Scotland to settle in the local, due to her, he claims, the throne. Meanwhile, Elżbieta I sits on the throne of England and Scotland. The young queen looks at the "sister" with fear and fascination. Rivals in power and love, lonely women in the masculine world, must decide what strategy they will take in the game around marriage and independence. Maria, determined to be more than a puppet, maintains that the English throne belongs to her, which threatens the sovereignty of Elisabeth. Rebellion, betrayal, and conspiracy will shake both thrones, changing the history course forever.
