Starring 2024 Best Actress Academy Award-nominee Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)!
Austria, late 19th Century. Countess Irma Sztáray (Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest) leaves her home in Hungary to become the lady-in-waiting for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known to those close to her as Sisi (Susanne Wolff, The Three Musketeers). Irma falls under the spell of the rebellious Empress Sisi, and the two form a strong bond during a summer retreat in Greece. However, once home in Vienna, their lives take dramatic and irrevocable turns. A “lush, irreverent” (Variety) new take on the life of Empress Elisabeth, Sisi & I is an entertaining, thought-provoking tale of two women filled with biting humor and driven by bold performances from Hüller and Wolff.
