In the year 1864, Ludwig II ascended to the Bavarian throne. His people loved their radiant, young ruler, who wanted nothing more than to maintain peace for his country. Unfortunately, the first test of his political skills turned into a fiasco. His own ministers and advisers opposed the king's idealism, when he attempted to keep Bavaria out of the conflict between Prussia and Austria. After further disappointments, Ludwig left them to run the daily affairs of the kingdom and instead devoted his time and effort to art and culture. He summoned the musical genius Richard Wagner to Munich, whose unbridled spending and manipulation of the king led to scandal. Deeply injured, Ludwig is forced to expel him from Bavaria. Worse was his love for the Empress of Austria, Elisabeth (known as "Sissi"), which had to remain unfulfilled (especially since he was gay ... a point completely ignored by this film based on "fact").Im Jahr 1864 besteigt Ludwig II. den bayerischen Thron. Das Volk liebt den strahlenden jungen Herrscher, der dem Land unter allen Umständen den Frieden erhalten will. Doch schon seine erste politische Bewährungsprobe gerät zum Fiasko. Seine Minister und Ratgeber stellen sich gegen den Idealisten, als er versucht, Bayern aus dem Konflikt zwischen Preußen und Österreich herauszuhalten. Nach weiteren Enttäuschungen überlässt Ludwig ihnen die Amtsgeschäfte und widmet sich der Pflege von Kunst und Kultur. Er holt den genialen Richard Wagner nach München, aber dessen Maßlosigkeit führt zu einem Skandal. Tief verletzt muss Ludwig ihn des Landes verweisen. Schlimmer noch trifft ihn, dass seine Liebe zur Kaiserin von Österreich, Elisabeth, unerfüllt bleibt. In German with switchable English and Spanish subtitles. Approx. 109 mins.
