Kralj Ukrajine - Movies | Art-kino Croatia

The film tells the story of Wilhelm von Habsburg who wanted to become King of Ukraine and became an early fighter for the independence of Ukraine after World War 1. The life story of archduke Wilhelm, one of the most outstanding political figures of the XX century, is still a silenced part in the modern history of the Habsburg Empire, although his professional life and activities are also the history of Ukraine of the ХХ century in particular and the history of Europe in general. Above all, the film depicts Wilhelm von Habsburg as a dreamer and visionary as well as reveals how and why he formed his vision of the future Ukrainian nation. However, along with the story about the outstanding and multifaceted personality of Wilhelm von Habsburg and the way he influenced the history of Europe in the XX century, the film aims at bringing his historical figure back into the minds and consciousness of Ukrainians and Europeans.
