Marie Antoinette

Only a teenager, Marie Antoinette is forced to leave Austria to marry the Dauphin, tasked with giving birth to the Bourbon heir in order to guarantee the alliance between France and Austria.

When Louis refuses to share his bed with her, Marie-Antoinette realises that it will be more difficult to carry the Bourbon heir than she imagined, and turns to Madame du Barry for help.

The royal family spend a vacation in Fontainebleau in order to escape the stifling climate of Versailles; Marie Antoinette learns of the plan of du Barry, who seeks to find a bride in Provence.

Marie-Antoinette and Louis prepare to make their first official visit to Paris; everything changes when the king falls seriously ill; the succession suddenly becomes a concrete reality; Barry knows she has to protect herself.

Marie-Antoinette aims to inaugurate her reign as queen of France, organising a sumptuous inauguration ball, and trying to convince Louis to choose the pro-Austrian candidate that she defends as prime minister.

Against all expectations, it is Joseph, Marie-Antoinette's brother, who goes to Versailles to save the royal wedding. It doesn't take long for him to understand that he has his work cut out for him if he wants to unite this struggling couple.
