Rodolfe, the Crown Prince of Austria, is trapped in a life of monotony and rebellion. He's forced to marry a princess to produce an heir, but spends his nights indulging in his playboy lifestyle. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he meets Marie Vetsera, a 17-year-old baroness' daughter who is determined to be with him, refusing any reward or expectation in return. As the Prime Minister tries to intervene and separate the star-crossed lovers, Rodolfe must find a way to defy societal expectations and family obligations to be with the one he loves.
