Content

What would you say if you were suddenly allowed to work for the most famous and most sought-after woman of your century? Travel around the world with her and have the chance to become her best friend? All this could be so beautiful. If you hadn't fallen madly in love with her. What a disaster.

That's how Countess Irma (Sandra Hüller) feels in SISI & ICH, the new feature film 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.
