Imperial Game is a German 2021 docudrama that illuminates the historical turning point from several perspectives, supplemented by documentary elements. A scenic dialog forms the narrative framework: Eugénie, the widow of Emperor Napoleon, and Luise von Baden, daughter of Emperor Wilhelm I, meet at Arenenberg Castle in Switzerland. Against the backdrop of the negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles, which sealed Germany's defeat in the First World War, the two very old women look back on the time of the founding of the Reich and take stock of the relationship between the Germans and the French, which was burdened with heavy mortgages in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles Castle in 1871 and 1919.
