    • Synopsis
    • Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary is idolized for her beauty
      and renowned for inspiring fashion trends. But in 1877, ‘Sisi’ turns 40 and is
      officially deemed an old woman. She fights to maintain her public image by
      lacing her corset tighter and tighter. Despite being instrumental in Austria’s
      alliance with Hungary, the Empress’s role has since been reduced against her
      wishes to purely performative. She becomes restless in Vienna and travels to
      England and Hungary, visiting former lovers and political allies, seeking the
      excitement of her youth. With a future of strictly ceremonial duties laid out in
      front of her, Elizabeth comes up with a plan to protect her legacy.
