Plot
----
The film opens with Oscar Wilde's 1882 visit to [Leadville, Colorado](/wiki/Leadville%2C_Colorado "Leadville, Colorado") during his lecture tour of the United States. Despite his flamboyant personality and urbane wit, he proves to be a success with the local [silver miners](/wiki/Silver_mining "Silver mining") as he regales them with tales of [Renaissance](/wiki/Renaissance "Renaissance") silversmith [Benvenuto Cellini](/wiki/Benvenuto_Cellini "Benvenuto Cellini").
Wilde returns to London and weds [Constance Lloyd](/wiki/Constance_Lloyd "Constance Lloyd"). They have two sons in quick succession. While their second child is still an infant, the couple hosts a young Canadian named [Robbie Ross](/wiki/Robbie_Ross "Robbie Ross"), who seduces Wilde. Ross's love for Wilde endures. On the opening night of his play *[Lady Windermere's Fan](/wiki/Lady_Windermere%27s_Fan "Lady Windermere's Fan")*, Wilde is re\-introduced to the dashingly handsome and foppish poet [Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas](/wiki/Lord_Alfred_Douglas "Lord Alfred Douglas"), whom he had met briefly the year before. The two fall into a passionate and tempestuous relationship. The [hedonistic](/wiki/Hedonism "Hedonism") Bosie is not content to remain [monogamous](/wiki/Monogamy "Monogamy") and frequently engages in sexual activity with [rent boys](/wiki/Male_prostitution "Male prostitution") while his older lover plays the role of [voyeur](/wiki/Voyeurism "Voyeurism").
Bosie's father, the [Marquess of Queensberry](/wiki/John_Douglas%2C_9th_Marquess_of_Queensberry "John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry"), a violent and cruel man, objects to his son's relationship with Wilde and demeans the playwright shortly after the opening of *[The Importance of Being Earnest](/wiki/The_Importance_of_Being_Earnest "The Importance of Being Earnest")*. When Wilde sues the Marquess for criminal libel, his homosexuality is publicly exposed. He is eventually tried for [gross indecency](/wiki/Gross_indecency_between_men "Gross indecency between men") and sentenced to two years' [hard labour](/wiki/Penal_labour "Penal labour"). Constance is advised by friends to go abroad and change her name to protect the children.
Prison life is grueling; the [penal treadmill](/wiki/Penal_treadmill "Penal treadmill") permanently wrecks Wilde's health. Bosie tells Robbie he will look after Wilde in some pleasant sunny place when he is released. Constance visits him in prison. She is sending Cyril to school in Germany, and she may need back surgery. He tells her he has always loved her, and that he did not know himself in the beginning. She tells him she does not want a divorce. The children love him and he is welcome to visit as long as he never sees Bosie again.
Loyal friend [Ada Leverson](/wiki/Ada_Leverson "Ada Leverson") meets Wilde when he is released from prison in May 1897, carrying the manuscript of *[De Profundis](/wiki/De_Profundis_%28letter%29 "De Profundis (letter)")*. He goes straight into exile, to continental Europe. He puts flowers on Constance's grave. Since she died (in April 1898\) he is no longer allowed to see his children. He eventually meets with Douglas. A printed epilogue notes that they parted after three months and describes Wilde's death in Paris in November 1900 at age 46 and the fates of Bosie and Ross.
Portions of the beloved Wilde story "[The Selfish Giant](/wiki/The_Happy_Prince_and_Other_Tales%23%22The_Selfish_Giant%22 "The Happy Prince and Other Tales#")" are woven throughout the film, beginning when Wilde tells the story to his children, then as Constance reads the book to them and so on until Wilde almost finishes the story in a voice\-over as the film nears its end.
