In the 19th century, a young and dreamy Bavarian prince, passionate about the arts and music, finds himself trapped between the expectations of royalty and his desire to live an authentic and creative life. As the years go by, he feels increasingly alienated by political intrigues and the duties of coronation, leading him to seek refuge in artistic creation and the construction of castles inspired by his vast imagination.
However, his fascination with the beautiful and sublime places him on a path of emotional isolation and conflict with his family. The pressure of the court and the onslaught of public opinion begin to take a toll on his mental health, and his life becomes a whirlwind of loneliness and symptoms of madness. As he delves into his deepest obsessions, his relationship with the queen, who symbolizes both his longing for love and his reluctance for the rules of duty, becomes one of the central pillars of his existence.
The narrative intertwines with spectacular images of the Bavarian landscapes and the prince's own castles, reflecting his turbulent inner world. The story explores the consequences of art, madness, and the quest for identity in a context where the political and personal collide, revealing the tragedy of a misunderstood genius in a world that cannot accept him.
