    How did Austria-Hungary fell?
    I really enjoyed this film! They are so fantastic in describing how Austria-Hungary went from high to low in a short period of time. As a matter of fact when I move around territories which used to be part of Austria-Hungary that country was more successful country then are the countries that exist on its territory save may be Austria today.

    The plot is great, shots of fantastic vistas of the former Empire and acting is excellent, especially EMB.

    If you are history student of Austria-Hungary period this is a definitely film for you.

    If you are from Austria or Hungary or other countries that inherited territories of the former Monarchy, you have to see this film, it is a part of your history.
