The film tells the story of historian, novelist and British intelligence agent Gertrude Bell (Gertrude Bell,1868-1926), who played an important role in establishing a new political order in the Middle East in the 1920s. Bell was educated as a teenager, so it was difficult to find a suitable partner in Britain, so she went to Tehran. In Iran she fell in love with Henry Cadogan, a diplomat addicted to gambling, but it didn't go well, so Bell decided to give up her personal life and devote herself to exploring the surrounding area. Before the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Bell studied languages in the Middle East, translated literature, and met with senior Muslim officials in Cairo, Basra and Baghdad. Bell won the trust of the leaders because of his courage and respect. It seemed destined to be a bridge between the British Empire and the countries of the Middle East, and Bell helped to draw the boundaries of the Middle East after World War I. At this time, love came into her life again. Werner Herzog (Werner Herzog) tells the legendary history of the desert queen against a vast desert background.
