But unexpectedly matters take a turn when the king becomes hopelessly infatuated with his new mistress, Anne Boleyn, right at the moment when he assumes that Catherine cannot give him the heir he yearns for. Determined to achieve his objective, he will resort to all kinds of manipulations and pressures in order to divorce his wife.
