Gisela: The Princess Sisi Tried to Erase from History

Описание: Gisela: The Princess Sisi Tried to Erase from History

While history remembers Empress Sisi for her ethereal beauty, few know the tragic story of her "unloved" daughter. Archduchess Gisela of Austria was virtually erased from her mother’s heart, labeled "plain," and effectively "exiled" to Bavaria at just sixteen. Yet, this "forgotten princess" staged a quiet revolution: she dared to find happiness despite the Habsburg curse.
In this documentary, we look past the romanticized myth of Romy Schneider’s Sissi to find the cold reality of the Empress. Discover how Gisela survived the crossfire between her mother and the formidable Archduchess Sophie, why she was treated as a "functional ghost," and how she ultimately became the "Good Angel of Munich"—proving that a life well-lived is the ultimate defiance of tragedy.
