Empress Elizabeth of Austria is idolized for her beauty and renowned for inspiring fashion trends. But in 1877 “Sisy” turns 40 and as she is seen as older, she tries to maintain her public image, keeping her corsage ever tauter. While, against her will, she is assuming purely representative functions, her thirst for knowledge and joy make her feel even more restless in Vienna. She travels to Britain and Hungary, meets former lovers and political allies as she looks to relive the tribulations of her youth. With only strictly ceremonial duties ahead of her, Elizabeth challenges her unrealistic image and comes up with a plan to preserve her legacy.¬¬
