Sisi

Sisi is Europe's first superstar, the "Lady Diana" of the 19th century. She enthralled all of Europe and an audience of millions with: her status as Empress, her legendary beauty, an uncompromising love of her freedom and the promise to lend a worthy, softer image to the Habsburg monarchy. At the beginning, Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, known as Sisi, is a carefree teenager who falls head over heels in love with a man who is powerful, attractive and desirable. He has, however, also an unacknowledged dark and dangerous side - Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria. Sisi has to decide – and she accepts the challenge. At the end of her journey, the Bavarian girl has turned into a confident Empress, who has become an adult. She is able to make tough decisions, handle loss, and, finally, on her own live up to her role as Empress. In short: Sisi has become a modern and exceptional woman.
