Here is a brief summary of the plot.
For many years now, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, has been a prisoner of Queen Elizabeth I of England – although she once fled to England in search of political asylum. But how can Elizabeth, the “bastard queen”, tolerate a woman next to her who years earlier had laid claim to the throne herself? Who seems to know how to charm every man in the empire and win them over to her political ambitions? Who even dares to steal her queen’s lover? Elisabeth comes under increasing pressure to free the country and herself from the threat posed by her rival. But Elisabeth has scruples. Is she herself still safe when the life of a queen is no longer sacrosanct? Isn’t there enough room in the world for both women? Torn by doubts, she allows herself to be persuaded to meet Maria – for the first time after all these years. But the situation escalates …

In fact, Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart have never met: In Friedrich Schiller’s tragedy, however, the dramatic encounter becomes a duel between two strong women caught between political responsibility and private happiness, hunger for power and loneliness, in which there can ultimately be no winner. Both women give their all in the struggle to realize their life plans and yet ultimately fail hopelessly because of the abysses of their ambition, their vanity and their longing for recognition.
