What Is The Regime About?

Detailing events over the span of a year, The Regime follows Chancellor Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet), who oversees a crumbling authoritarian regime. Having not left her palace for quite some time – and dealing with quite a severe case of hypochondria – Vernham becomes increasingly paranoid and unstable. She soon turns to Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a recently-disgraced soldier and Elena’s ‘personal water diviner’, for advice. But as his influence grows, so does her need to assert power – and the resulting chaos leads to the palace’s, and the country’s, eventual demise.
