At the age of fourteen, Maria Antonia, a captivating and innocent Archduchess of Austria, represents the youngest of Empress Maria-Theresa’s daughters. In 1770, being the only remaining unmarried sibling among her sisters, her mother dispatches her to wed the Dauphin of France, the prospective Louis XVI, in order to solidify an alliance between the rival nations. Marie-Antoinette embarks on her journey to France, severing all ties with her homeland, including her beloved pug “Mops,” and encounters King Louis XV of France and her future spouse, Louis-Auguste. The pair arrives at the grand Palace of Versailles, an architectural marvel constructed by the Sun King, Louis XIV.
