Thanks to Palace Films, Flicks has 10 double passes to give away to the acclaimed historical drama Margrete: Queen of the North. The film opens in Australia on November 24. Click here for a list of participating cinemas and scroll for details on how to enter the competition.
Synopsis: The year is 1402. Fifty-year-old Margrete (Dryholm, in a masterfully understated performance) has achieved what no man has managed before: she has gathered Denmark, Norway and Sweden together into a peaceful union. However as a woman, she is forbidden from the throne, so governs indirectly through her adopted son, King Erik (Morte Hee Andersen).
Despite her achievement, the alliance is precarious, with the fledgling Nordic union beset by enemies. So to secure the territory’s future, Margrete’s plan is to broker a marriage between Erik and English princess Philippa (daughter of Henry V). What she is not anticipating is a conspiracy within her own ranks, and when a mysterious man (Jakob Oftebro) presents himself at the palace, professing to be Margrete’s long dead biological son (and thus laying claim to the throne) she’s faced with an impossible dilemma, one that threatens everything she’s worked for.
