Aristocracy. Anarchy. Obsession. A movie for everyone who thought everything had already been said about the most beautiful woman in the world.
"What would you say if you were suddenly allowed to work for the most famous and sought-after woman of your century? Travel the world with her and maybe even have the chance to become her best friend? It could all be so wonderful. If you hadn't fallen madly in love with her. What a disaster."
That's how Countess Irma (Sandra Hüller) feels in SISI & ICH by Frauke Finsterwalder. Empress Sisi (Susanne Wolff) has reached the last half of her life. Irma finds her surrounded by women in a kind of aristocratic commune in Greece, a whole universe away from the etiquette of the Austrian court. Sisi lives in absolute freedom, in which neither her children nor her husband Emperor Franz Joseph play a role. The only important thing is that there is no boredom and that the empress herself sets the rules of the game.
Irma falls head over heels in love with the captivatingly charismatic Sisi and her modern ideas. Together they travel wherever the whim takes them. And everything could go on like this forever if Sisi wasn't empress.
