Synopsis
In the kingdom of Pannonia, the people are miserable and poor. Revolutionaries plotting the overthrow of the state are met with governmental repression, whilst the court itself is full of intrigues and conspiracies. At the centre of it all lies a ball of grief and loneliness - the 12-year-old King Michel VIII. He desires above all to see his mother again, but is told that she is dead. He has no power, and his life is run entirely by others. His health deteriorates, until the court finally allows him to be examined by a kind doctor, who prescribes sunshine, exercise and mixing with other boys. To this end, he is sent off to Monte Carlo, well away from the court. But as his health improves, he has to face the prospect of returning to his unhappy throne...
