The teaser offers a peek into Winslet's portrayal of a leader navigating the complexities of a political kingdom teetering on the edge of collapse, relying solely on her unwavering loyal soldier, Matthias Schoenaert.

The Regime "tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel," according to a synopsis.
