Lisl Goldarbeiter was the most beautiful woman in the world. She grew up in modest circumstances in Vienna, won the title of Miss Austria and later became the first and only Austrian-crowned Miss Universe. Her cousin Marci was an avid filmmaker and determined suitor who kept his camera-and his heart-trained on Lisl for decades. A remarkable wealth of archival footage and family photos brings this transcendent, atmospheric and very personal story to life. This rich and dramatic film about great beauty-and the enduring nature of true romantic love-unravels against the backdrop of the roaring twenties, Depression-era Vienna, war-torn Europe and the turbulent years beyond.
