The film tells the story of the final years of the life of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia. It follows his devoted wife, Empress Alexandra; his son, Tsarevich Alexei; his daughters, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia; and his brother, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich.

The story of the imperial family unfolds against the backdrop of a tragic turning point in history.
