From Catherine the Great up until the last Russian Empress, all the 'Russian' Tsarinas were, in fact, German. What brought them to Petrograd were marriages arranged in the royal courts of Europe. This sweeping documentary tells dramatic stories of survival and suffering, as these women navigated their strategic marriages, the longing for true love, and the shackles of European power politics.
