Sissi is now the empress of Austria and attempts to learn etiquette. While she is busy being empress she also has to deal with her difficult new mother-in-law, while the arch-duchess Sophie is trying to tell the emperor how to rule and also Sissi how to be a mother.

A spirited young woman struggles to maintain her wild nature while suffocating under the rigid etiquette of the Austrian court. Her battle for autonomy intensifies as a domineering mother-in-law attempts to reshape her into the perfect, submissive empress.
