A wooden queen comes between a king and a servant in this surreal, dark comedy from English filmmaking duo Kit and Arran.  

Set in a fictitious kingdom where the sun always shines and the characters live in the open air of a ruined castle, the film imaginatively explores themes of class, hierarchy, gender and power.

The only two people in the kingdom, the king and the servant, live happily in their respective roles. One day, a dream prompts the king to order the servant to carve a queen. The presence of the mannequin queen leads to a shift in the seemingly delicate balance, resulting in an unravelling of everything that went before.

Hilariously performed by Graham Dickson and Neil Chinneck and with an edge that defies its bucolic scenery, the film takes you on an absurdist journey through a dark fairytale and leaves it up to you to decide what exactly it all means.
