The story of King Ludwig II of Bavaria - a romantic and idealist, a fan of beauty and harmony. Even in his youth, having heard Wagner's opera “Lohengrin”, the boy was mesmerized by the romantic world of heroes, legends and ideal love. Since coming to power, Ludwig fully supports the creative genius of Wagner, but his unrequited love for the Austrian Princess Elisabeth contributes to the manifestation of unhealthy passions.
