The movie presents the Romanian perspective at the end of the First World War. As Europe lies in ruin and conflicts are still going in certain areas, the winners gather in Paris to carve out the spoils of the war. After suffering a german invasion, a devastated Romania is in danger of being denied its historic provinces. The story explores the sacrifices made by the Queen of Romania, Marie, to win over the leaders of France, England and the United States. It is a unique perspective of a small Eastern European country, with it's own brand of "realpolitik", a.k.a. The hardships it must endure in order to achieve its political goals. In this respect, the story feels quite universal.
