Europe and Russia are shocked by the unexpected death of the young Emperor Peter II. He died at the age of 14, leaving behind neither an heir nor a will. Who will get the crown of the Russian Empire? A fierce struggle for power begins. Having chosen Anna Ioannovna, the Privy Council hoped to use her as a puppet and a screen for the implementation of their own selfish plans. But the nobles were mistaken - the people do not like eight tyrants. Let there be a tyrant, but only ONE!
Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Too much of everything
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
