Sandra princesse rebelle Online

I don't think this summary will contain major spoilers, but there might be minor spoilers (and some very minor inconsistencies since I've seen this show about 6-7 years ago.) Sandra is a young woman who is often troubled by nightmares, which, as her psychiatrist stepfather told her, are results of the road accident that killed her parents when she was very small. The truth is, however, that she is in fact Princess Alexandra of Kroënies, and she witnessed her parents being murdered by Comunist revolutionaries. She learns about this only when the Communist regime ends in the small island-state, and Kroënians want her to return and be their queen. Sandra travels to Kroënies but life isn't easy for her, she just divorced her cheating husband, she is angry at her step-parents for lying to her for decades, she is harassed by the prime minister of Kroënies who was hopelessly in love with her mother, and she has a dangerous enemy: the rich businessman Zoltan Kouros, whose family lost their estates because of the reforms of Sandra's father the king. Kouros is determined to get his family's property back, and swears revenge against Sandra. The only person Sandra can trust is Ivan, the son of the prime minister, but their love affair leads to the discovery of a terrible secret. Yet Sandra is a very strong woman and is determined to overcome all difficulties.

Sounds like a modern-day fairytale, but I think it isn't suitable for viewers under 12 because of Kouros' manipulations, he is not afraid of committing murder and other cruelties. There are some references to homosexuality, child abuse and incest, if it troubles you, you might want to skip this show, though I was more troubled by the cruel acts Kouros commits. If these things don't disturb you, then you should really watch this show, because it is very good. Also there are interesting similarities with 20th century European history.

I agree with a previous commentator that stated that it is for adults only (at least in the contrived US context). This was an extreme but very fulfilling look at the realities of the legacy of the long history of Europe, and its nobility, in a world where their relevance is, at best, confused in most people's minds. The clash of the past and present, assorted of beautiful and quite powerful actors, and a plot that remains totally credible, despite its, at times, far-fetched plot twists, make this mini-series a wonderful adventure, in the proud tradition of the French language TV sagas like "Jalna", "L'Amour en Heritage", "Les Deux Alsaces", or "Les Coeurs Brules". Definitely worth watching. But once again, no kids allowed.
