In the film Queen Elizabeth I is transported forward eventually by John Dee through the spirit guide Ariel to the tattered Britain ruled by Elizabeth II. the Seventies queen is dead, flushed within an arbitrary mugging, & a historical queen transit a mixer & physical decompose of the city researching the activities of a class action of sporadic nihilists called Amyl Nitrate, Bod, Chaos, Crabs, Mad & similar.

A film is clearly Jarman's however is heavy influenced per Seventies punk ethic in its style. Shot within coarse-grained colour a film is largely plotless, episodic, untidy, confrontational, typically tongue-tied & noisily anti-establishment and anti-royalty -- Buckingham Palace is the recording studio run by a human known as Borgia Ginz.
