Plot: Empress Elizabeth of Austria is idolised for her beauty and known for inspiring fashion trends. However, in 1877, as ‘Sissi’ celebrates her 40th birthday, she must also fight to maintain her public image by lacing her corset tighter and tighter. Elizabeth’s role has sadly been reduced to being purely performative, but she is more than that. Her hunger for knowledge and zest for life has made her more restless in Vienna. She travels to England and Bavaria seeking the excitement and purpose of her youth. With a future of strictly ceremonial duties laid out in front of her, Elizabeth rebels against the hyperbolised image of herself and comes up with a plan to protect her legacy.
