Carol I
2009 · Movie · 90 min. · Romania
The film begins in the summer of 1914. At 75 years old, King Carol I, the founder of modern Romania, is living a quiet life at the Peleş Castle. He has by his side Queen Elisabeth, his devoted wife and friend. The King faces the pains of age with sobriety, although these do not compare to his morale kneadings. Carol I is in a tough position; his family roots dictate that he should enter World War I alongside Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but public opinion calls for Romania to remain neutral. The king plays his last card in the Crown Council. He tries to persuade the representatives of the people to enter the war alongside the Central Powers.
