Ludwig plot
"Ludwig. He loved women. He loved men. He lived as controversially as he ruled. But he did not care what the world thought. He was the world."
Ludwig (Helmut Berger) is 18 when his father dies. Completely unprepared, he is crowned King of Bavaria. Ludwig, a loner by nature, takes kingship seriously, but sees his task primarily as fulfilling a role. Tormented by his love for his cousin, Empress Elisabeth "Sissi" of Austria (Romy Schneider), his homosexual feelings and his fear of losing his grip on reality, Ludwig becomes obsessed with the music of Richard Wagner (Trevor Howard).
