Examining both body- and mirror image, Vincent Guilbert’s Super8 work Of Her Kingdom is a meditative filmic puzzle about memories, fleeting moments and contradictions, in which a solitary woman is seen listening to an LP, drying her hair and applying eyeliner while her actions are narrated with existential Zen-like mantras.

A beautiful, strong-willed young royal refuses to wed the cruel sociopath to whom she is betrothed and is kidnapped and locked in a remote tower of her father’s castle. With her scorned, vindictive suitor intent on taking her father’s throne, the princess must protect her family and save the kingdom.

Russian exiles in Paris plot to collect ten million pounds from the Bank of England by grooming a destitute, suicidal girl to pose as heir to the Russian throne. While Bounin is coaching her, he comes to believe that she is really Anastasia. In the end, the Empress must decide her claim.
