Lorsque l’impératrice Sissi choisit Irma comme dame d’honneur pour l’accompagner dans ses escapades méditerranéennes, celle-ci se prête de bonne grâce à ses exigences. Rapidement, Irma semble parvenir à apprivoiser cette souveraine excentrique et éprise de liberté. Mais à leur retour en Bavière, les étouffantes conventions de la cour mettent leur apparente complicité à rude épreuve. (KinoVista)

Each generation interprets the myth of the empress a bit differently. This is a highly original interpretation and one of the few that focuses on the end of her life as the main theme. Her relationship with the last lady-in-waiting and the events in Corfu. The artistic license taken is quite wild, especially regarding the costumes and selected music, but there's also Herzogin in Bayern (1837-1898) depicted during her meeting with Queen Victoria (1819-1901). The public got to know the personality of the Hungarian Irma Sztáray (1863-1940) through her memoirs. Equally intriguing is the figure of the homosexual brother of Emperor Ludwig Viktor (1842-1919), nicknamed Luzivuzi or Bubi. It's not a significant loss, but certainly not the best film inspired by the empress's life.
