Summary: The Netflix production tells the first year of Empress Sisi (Devrim Lingnau) at the court of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary (Philip Froissant). After the marriage of the rebellious Elisabeth to the emperor, the young empress not only has to assert herself against her mother-in-law, the power-hungry Sophie, but also against Franz’s brother Maxi, who himself is out for the throne and also has his eye on Sisi. When enemy troops form on the borders of the Habsburg Empire, the people of Vienna rise in protest against the Emperor. Elisabeth must figure out who to trust and what it costs to be an icon of hope for the people.
