This film tells the true story of John wilmer (1647- 1680) (played by Johnny Depp), a legendary figure in the English Restoration in the 7th century. He is not only a brilliant poet, but also a favorite of the second Earl of Rochester and charles ii (john malkovich). However, he did not enjoy the splendor like other nobles, but felt the erosion and decay inside the court more deeply. As a result, the count was eccentric, bohemian and dissolute. He not only tells explicit jokes on various occasions, but also writes obscene poems to mock the fornication of kings and court nobles. He once tricked King charles ii into a brothel, leaving the king penniless and unable to prove his identity there. What is more frightening is that several people who quarreled with him were killed. Although the police suspected that it was wilmer, there was no evidence.

In addition, John wilmer also met the maverick actress Elizabeth Barry (samantha morton), whose naturalistic lifestyle was particularly unconventional in Britain in the17th century. Thus, they began a complicated and confusing love story. However, wilmer is also bisexual. He met an unknown actor named Rupert Flanders, whose handsome appearance made John feel indescribable. John wilmer's rebellious behavior and drunken life led to his decline. He was not only exiled for offending the royal family many times, but also suffered from blindness, arthritis, muscular atrophy, delusion and other diseases. In the end, he died young because of syphilis.
