The epic official trailer for Queen of the Desert opens as a woman (Nicole Kidman) says, "The deeper we immerse ourselves in the desert, the more everything seems like a dream." Sand blows across the screen and a group of people traveling through the windy conditions becomes visible.

As the trailer continues, it's established that the time period is the dawn of the twentieth century. We meet the woman who spoke earlier: Gertrude Bell. 

We see her interact with various people, including characters played by James Franco and Robert Pattinson, and experience cultures different from Britain's. Toward the end of the trailer, she proclaims, "I'm not afraid. For the first time in my life, I know who I am. My heart belongs to no one but the desert."
