Indelibly linked to the Mayerling tragedy, the story of Crown Prince Rudolf still evokes mystery and conspiracy, thwarted hopes and unfulfilled love. After entering into an unhappy marriage of convenience, the young heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne begins a fateful affair with the Baroness Mary Vetsera. She, along with the other women who influenced his life, has inspired this sweeping mini-series shot on location in Austria and featuring an illustrious cast that includes Klaus Maria Brandauer, Christian Clavier and Omar Sharif.
