A satirical, character-driven period drama that uses the relationship between an empress and her lady-in-waiting to examine power, intimacy, and the constraints of royal life with both absurdist humor and reflective melancholy.

After an elaborate application process, Empress Elisabeth of Austria hires Countess Irma as her new lady-in-waiting and takes her to her summer residence on Corfu. As the two women become closer there, this soon leads to tensions back in Vienna.
