Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1767, British Princess Caroline is betrothed to mad King Christian VII of Denmark, but her life with the erratic monarch in the oppressive country becomes an isolating misery. However, Christian soon gains a fast companion with German Dr. Johann Struensee, a quietly idealistic man of the Enlightenment. As the only one who can influence the King, Struensee is able to begin sweeping enlightened reforms of Denmark through Christian, even as Caroline falls for the doctor. However, their secret affair proves to be a tragic mistake that their conservative enemies use to their advantage in a conflict that threatens to claim more than just the lovers as their victims.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Swedish actress Alicia Vikander had to learn Danish. Vikander spent two months in Copenhagen in Denmark learning Danish prior to principal photography. See more » |
| Goofs | While all of the characters all speak Danish in the film, the court language in Denmark at the time was German. In real life neither Graf Bernstorff nor Johann Struensee spoke any Danish, and it is probable that Christian and Caroline also conversed in German rather than the "people's language." However, this is a movie made for a Danish audience. "Translating" the characters' speech to the language of the audience is in the same principle as Hollywood movies where Egyptian Pharaohs and Roman Emperors speak English. See more » |

| Quotes |
Johann Friedrich Struensee:
Your majesty. Caroline Mathilde: You recognized me. Johann Friedrich Struensee: I would recognize you blindfolded. Caroline Mathilde: But your costume is not very imaginative. Johann Friedrich Struensee: I'm afraid I'm not very good at the masquerade. Caroline Mathilde: I believe this is the one night when everyone can be themselves. [pause] Caroline Mathilde: But you never remove your mask. Do you? See more » |
