In the late 1800's, Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire, falls for Sophie Chotek, a Czech countess. He's already a problem to the Crown because of his political ideas; this love affair with someone not of royal blood breeches protocol. The Crown allows the union only after the couple agrees to a morganatic marriage. The emperor further neutralizes Franz by making him inspector general of the army, sending him afield for months at a time.

Their deaths spark World War I.

In doing so, she becomes a mirror of a changing society - from 2001 until today. "I believe that it doesn't really matter how large the audience is that sees my film; as long as my films can be shown in China and there is a real market for them here, it would be of great significance to me personally."
