Empress Elisabeth of Austria is idolised for her beauty, but as she passes forty she must fight to maintain her public image. While Elisabeth’s role has been reduced against her wishes to purely performative, her hunger for knowledge and zest for life makes her more and more restless in Vienna. With a future of strictly ceremonial duties laid out in front of her, Elizabeth rebels. A funny, refreshingly irreverent spin on the period biopic formula.
