Princess Caroline Matilda of Great Britain embarks on a new journey as she leaves England to marry King Christian VII of Denmark. Her passion for arts and education is soon challenged when she discovers that many of her beloved books are banned by the state upon her arrival.
King Christian’s mental illness leads to the recruitment of German doctor Johann Friedrich Struensee as his personal physician.
