Set in the 19th-century, this captivating biopic introduces us to a young woman of immense intelligence, beauty, and vitality. After suffering a heartbreak, Eugenia de Montijo embarks on a journey across Europe that will eventually lead her to Paris. There, she meets the President of the French Republic, Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, who becomes infatuated with her, struggling to tame her rebellious spirit in an attempt to keep her in the French capital. The future Empress Consort of Napoleon III takes centre stage in this romantic drama, set against magnificent backdrops and featuring stunning costumes that pay tribute to the neoclassical fashion influencer she was, complete with iconic hats and crinolines. Amparo Rivelles steps into the shoes of the charming aristocrat from Granada—leading a stellar cast including Fernando Rey and Tony Leblanc—in this historical fairytale of sorts, elevated further still by an evocative score from Joaquín Turina.
