Optimistic, full of hope for the future-such is the outlook of Maximilian von Hapsburg and his enthusiastic bride Carlota when they embrace the throne of the Mexican empire. As fate would have it their dreams were not to last. When trouble arises both must face their individual struggles without the other's support. Carlota sails to Europe in search of French aid while Max and his tiny army are thrust into a military conflict with the liberal Mexicans backed by the American army. Failure means treason and a firing squad for Maximilian and his two most loyal generals, Miramón and Mejia. Based on the tragic events following the failed establishment of the Second Mexican Empire in 1864, this is a tale torn between loyalty and betrayal.
