The Other Boleyn Girl tells the story of sisters Mary and Anne Boleyn, who moved to the court of King Henry VIII. Their goal was to make him fall in love and fulfill his long life dream of having a son. But that very same goal would lead to a rivalry between the 2 of them and, despite the fact that the King was first interested in Mary, he ended up marrying Anne. In the royal history, Anne Boleyn contributed to the break-up of the monarchy with the Catholic Church to switch to Anglicanism, and although she could not give a first-born son to Henry (for which she was sentenced to death), they had Elizabeth I, who would become one of the most important Queens in the history of British Royalty.

Natalie Portman played this woman who, despite having a tragic ending, was a transgressor in the British monarchy by supporting a religious expression that still endures in the modern world.
