[2][3] Liechtenhaus (a fictional tiny European principality) is ruled by Prince Max, but the little country is nearly bankrupt.
In fact, if he can't get an infusion of cash quickly, he may have to sell the royal palace to American developers as a casino complex.
Fortunately, he's got a very pretty daughter, Princess Sofia and the dowry he will get from marrying her off to the unappealing, but wealthy heir to a similar nearby principality will more than get his tiny country in the clear.
Unfortunately for him, his daughter is adamant about refusing this arranged marriage and prefers romance with a handsome but penniless windsurfing instructor to saving her country.
[4] Among the additional scenes: a dialogue between the protagonist and her nanny and the night-time encounter with the ecologist kids on the beach, played by Chiara Sani and Jimmy Ghione, and a scene in which Countess von Dix reveals her betrayal to her brother, Prince Maximilian.
