Her Majesty

In this movie we are sent back in fifties of 20th century. It takes place in New Zeeland in a small town which is known by its cheese and rhododendron park.
In this town the camera is following the life of young girl Elisabeth (yes just like the princess) that adores Princess Elizabeth (yes she was princess back then). She really wants to meet her some day and that was the reason why she wrote her so many letters.
While she is waiting on her meeting with princess she is living her life with her family. Her father is a cheese factory owner, her mother is a housewife (and a member of city woman community) and her evil brother that is teasing her all the time.
One day she meets an old native (Maori) woman that is banned from everyday life and disrespected by anyone form the town. She is a descendant of Maori chief of this region.
We found out the horrible story of her father, who was ambushed and killed by newcomers because he got a present from king (two precious pistols) for his courage and faithfulness. The pistols were stolen from him and were now in possession of a town most known lady (who had a secret relationship with mayor).
One day the princess announces her arrival to the town. Everybody is excited and they all want to meet her.
The town Bitch (oops. Lady) wants to show her the rhododendron garden. However Elizabeth’s mothers wants to let princess see the cheese factory that has supported England during the war.
In the end it all runs well so the princess tries the cheese and she meets the old Maori woman and shows her respect. She does not visit the rhododendron garden. And the most important, young Elizabeth meets her bellowed princess Elizabeth.
