Por un lado, es una divertida alegoría política antitotalitaria a lo "Ubu Rey", de Alfred Jarry; por el otro, una fascinante recreación del cine mudo con ramalazo nórdico. En una isla ficticia habitada por seres humanos cuyos nombres comienzan con la letra G, un condenado a muerte es amnistiado por capricho del monarca. Sin querer, este personaje descubre que la Reina (encarnada por Ligia Branice, musa y pareja sentimental de Borowczyk) mantiene relaciones sexuales con su profesor de equitación. Los acontecimientos se precipitan: hay suicidios, asesinatos, ajustes de cuentas y hasta una resurrección surrealista. La escena de los funerales inspiró una muy similar en la película "Institut Benjamenta", de los hermanos Quay.
