The real story of the affair between Queen Caroline of Denmark and her husband's personal physician - Johann Struensee.
A fascinating love story which has changed Denmark forever. Having the king's ear, Struensee introduced enlightenment ideas that, although they lasted a short time, paved the way for change for the next generation.
A beautifully made period film, brought to life by wonderful actors. Mads Mikkelsen is fascinating as always, Alicia Vikander is perfect in the balance of fragility and strength she shows, very believable as the English princess and Mikkel Boe Følsgaard is wonderful in the role of the king who has some mental issues, credible in his weakness but also when showing authority.
An easy to learn and enjoy history lesson.
