In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, a young, self-appointed expert on love, Cazotte, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her secure an heir. While searching for a suitable future Princess, Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince the art of seduction and lovemaking. But their plan soon backfires, when an heir is conceived out of wedlock and the royal family has to seek refuge in the castle of Rosenbad. Here, as rivals within the royal family close in on their scheme, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard, the maid of honor, and gradually learns that in fact, he’s no expert on love at all.

Not everything Scandinavian filmmakers shoot is worth watching, unfortunately. Ehrengard falls to the bottom of the list of films deserving attention. The exterior shots are traditionally beautiful, so no complaints there. But if you're expecting a nod to French historical adventure stories based on the synopsis, you're in for a disappointment. The focus here is on romance (the dull kind).
