At the turn of the nineteenth century, Napoléon and his beloved Joséphine inhabit the Tuileries Palace. During the years they have been married it has been a time of extraordinary turmoil and triumph; a time of hope and disappointment in their desire for a child.

And never more so than when Bonaparte becomes Emperor and Joséphine his Empress.
