Background

Sissi, the Young Empress is a brand new version, freely adapted from the original story and dedicated to the younger female audience, that emphasizes the modern and free personality of the young Empress, the bound with her large family and her beloved Franz.

Plot

When Elizabeth is 15 years old, she loves animals and her large family. She looks like many other girls, yet she is a free-spirited princess and nicknamed by everyone, Sissi. Also, she has a bracelet that allows her to communicate with her animal friends, by example, Nut, a cynical, but nice squirrel, Shadow, a playful dog and Flick, a loyal horse.

This is the way that one of the most romantic stories of all time began. Torn apart between her home at Possi Castle and the Schönbrunn Palace, Sissi has troubles following the rules of court and earning the love of her future mother-in-law. But even in hard times, she can rely on Franz and his great love.
