Sisi and I

Synopsis

Austria, late 19th Century. Countess Irma Sztaray (Sandra Huller) leaves her home in Hungary to become the lady-in-waiting for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known to those close to her as Sisi (Susanne Wolff). Irma falls under the spell of the rebellious Empress Sisi, and the two form a strong bond during a summer retreat in Greece. However, once home in Vienna, their lives take dramatic and irrevocable turns. A 'lush, irreverent' (Variety) new take on the life of Empress Elisabeth, Sisi & I stars Academy Award-nominated Sandra Huller and Susanne Wolff. 'Vividly shot' (AWFJ.org) and featuring a biting sense of humor, Sisi & I is a 'thought-provoking and entertaining glance at the famous empress.' (Cineuropa).
