Plot: (from IMDb)
Young Christina ascends to the Swedish throne at age 5. While she is queen, Sweden becomes a dominant European power at the end of the Thirty Years War. Like England's Elizabeth I, Christina (Greta Garbo) is pressured into a politically correct marriage (her cousin) but she falls in love with an emissary from Spain. As with her English counterpart, religion becomes a focal point with Protestant Sweden aghast that their queen could marry a Catholic.
Lesbian content:
Queen Christina kisses Countess Ebba Sparre (Elizabeth Young). The historical figure Queen Christina was a lesbian, and unlike in the movie, where she left the throne to be with the emissary, the real-life Queen Christina left the throne to be with Ebba Sparre, who she was very much in love with.
