Majesty!

The divine couple: Bhumibol and Sirikit of Thailand

He has been at the helm of Thailand for over 60 years.
He has survived 26 governments and more than a dozen coups d'état: King Bhumibol the Great.
When he appears, every Thai immediately prostrates himself before the godlike king.
Criticism of the king is taboo and is prosecuted as lèse majesté.
His wife Sirikit once made the former Siam known beyond all borders as the most beautiful queen in the world.

In conversations with family members, confidants and expert observers, the authors succeed in cautiously approaching the untouchable ruler and taking a daring look behind the palace walls.
In opulent images, the film tells of human tragedies, political tragedies and unconditional devotion.
A captivating story set against the backdrop of a magnificent façade.
