She is an honorary member of the Association of Danish Scenographers for her many years of work as a set designer in Danish film, television and theater.īille August, director, says: “Ehrengard being realized as a Netflix film is a grand opportunity - and I'm really looking forward to introducing this fascinating story of seduction and desire to a global audience. Since 1970, The Queen has been actively engaged in a number of artistic modes of expression: painting, church textiles, watercolours, prints, book illustrations, découpage works, scenography and embroidery. Here, as rivals within the royal family close in on their scheme, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard, the maid of honour, and gradually learns that in fact, he’s no expert on love at all.Įhrengard will feature set design by Queen Margrethe II. But their plan soon backfires, when an heir is conceived out of wedlock and the royal family has to seek refuge in the castle of Rosenbad. While searching for a suitable future Princess, Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince the art of seduction and lovemaking. In the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, a young, self-appointed expert on love, Cazotte, is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess to help her secure an heir. The project has been developed over the last decade by Jacob Jørgensen and JJ Film. Anders August is the scriptwriter and Marcella Dichmann at SF Studios is producing. The film is based on Ehrengard, one of the last works of Karen Blixen (1885-1962).
