The story is about the Boleyn sisters, Mary and Anne and their relation with the King of England. The King, having trouble getting a male heir, is trying to find a mistress to replace his rather "incompetent" wife. A simple story of trying to lure the King to be a mistress of one of the sisters complicates into a mish-mash of chaos which eventually leads to a gruesome end.
It was very interesting to actually see how England was separated from the Catholic Church and the reason for the establishment of the Church of England. The movie was a brilliant way of telling and showing the inner emotions and relationships that could have happened in those trying times.
