Oscar Wilde is a married playwright who has occasionally indulged his weakness for male suitors. After much toil, Wilde debuts 'The Importance of Being Earnest' in London, and a chat at the theatre with Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas leads to a full-fledged romance. However, this affair leads to a legal dispute with Lord Alfred's oppressive father, the Marquess of Queensberry, and, given the local anti-gay laws, Wilde is jailed. Wilde's vast intellect helps him survive until he regains his freedom.

"The film 'Wilde' is a biographical drama centered on the life, career, and legal troubles of Oscar Wilde, particularly focusing on his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas and his subsequent imprisonment. There is no mention or indication within the provided plot summary or typical knowledge of the film that the events are tied to the Christmas season, plot, themes, or iconography of Christmas."
