‘Ehrengard: The Art Of Seduction’ is based on the book Ehrengard by Karen Blixen (1885-1962) and is set to launch globally on Netflix in 2023. The film will feature set design and costumes by Queen Margrethe II.
The cast members for ‘Ehrengard: The Art Of Seduction’ include Sidse Babett Knudsen as The grand Duchess, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard as Cazotte, Alice Esther Bier Zandén as Ehrengard, Emilie Koppel as Princess Ludmilla, Sara-Marie Maltha as Mrs. Marbod, Jacob Lohmann as Mr. Marbod and Emil Aron Dorph as Prince Lothar.
‘Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction’ is set in the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen where a young, self-appointed expert on love, Mr. Cazotte (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard), is hired by the scheming Grand Duchess (Sidse Barbett Knudsen) to help her secure an heir.
While searching for a suitable future Princess, Mr Cazotte teaches the timid and introverted Crown Prince Lothar (Emil Aron Dorph) the art of seduction and lovemaking. 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. Here, as rivals within the royal family close in on their scheme, Cazotte himself falls in love with Ehrengard (Alice Esther Bier Zandén), the maid of honor, and gradually learns that in fact, he’s no expert on love at all.
‘Ehrengard: The Art Of Seduction’ will release globally on Netflix in 2023.
