In the twilight of Imperial Russia, one of the love that changed the world was born. The first balerina of the Bolshoi Theater Matilda Ksesinskaya and the last Russian emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich, or Nikolay the Second, created a legend in the whirlwind of passion, art and forbidden love that transcends all the boundaries of time and space. The choice of the heart is always correct, but can the ruler of the empire on its knees be guided? Is it possible to love the noble blue blood and ordinary dancers? “Matilda” is a controversial historical saga, based on a true story.
