From Catherine the Great up until the last Russian Empress all the ‘Russian’ Tsarinas were, in fact, German. This was not because the path of true love led them straight to Petrograd, but the result of European power play. This film, starting with Princess Charlotte, tells the dramatic stories of these women – torn between strategic marriages, the longing for love & the shackles of politics.
