    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The idea of having a physical manifestation of Death appear as Elisabeth's lover came directly from the private writings of the Empress herself, who often wrote in her poems and diaries that death is her only "love" and "friend".
    • Goofs
      Rudolf is seen confronting his mother at the Achilleon, her summer villa at Corfu, Greece. However, in reality, Elisabeth didn't built the villa until 1890, a full year after Rudolf's suicide at Mayerling.
