Plot
Eugenia is the queen of an imaginary European country. When her husband dies, quite unexpectedly, the country is left without a king.
Sinekatalog’s take
A queen suddenly widowed must govern a fictional country and her own upheavals. The satire pokes at royal rituals with an affectionate, eccentric humor. Fans of idiosyncratic French comedy will be charmed.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
