Empress Elisabeth of Austria is turning 40. In Vienna in 1877, that’s considered over the hill.
But Elisabeth is not one to bow to public expectation. As such, she works strategically to maintain her image within the confines of courtly life and deal with the complicated relationship she has with her husband, the Emperor Franz Joseph.
“A witty subversion of biopic and costume-drama.” – Variety

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
