Synopsis

When the rebellious Elisabeth ("Sisi") meets Franz, the young Emperor of Austria, their intoxicating love disrupts the power structure of the ruling family. After the wedding, the young Empress must not only find her way in a world unfamiliar to her but also stand up to her mother-in-law, Sophie, who had been the most powerful woman at the Viennese court until then. Meanwhile, Maximilian, the second-born who has always lived in the shadow of his brother Franz, puts Elisabeth’s emotions to the test. As enemy troops gather at the borders of the Habsburg Empire and revolution brews in Vienna, Elisabeth must determine whom she can trust and what price she must pay to become both an Empress and a symbol of hope for an entire nation.
