In 1935, her Royal Highness Queen Mother Marie celebrated her sixtieth anniversary, while in Bran with her daughter, Princess Ileana and her family. What is for sure is that she had a hard time copping with her son's restrictions - isolating her from friends, from her beloved daughter, Princess Ileana. In this context Queen Marie remembers her glorious days, when in 1919 she was sent unofficially to the Peace Conference in Paris, being, what the historians lately labeled as “the irresistible ambassador”. She reminisces all the official and unofficial meetings she attended, which had a huge contribution to the creation of the Great Romania - the unification of all the Romanian provinces: Transylvania, Banat, Bucovina, Bessarabia, after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The year 1919 marks the first visit of the Royal Couple, King Ferdinand and Queen Marie to Transylvania, the first parliament of the Great Romania, and finally she also remembers the Coronation Day on the 15th of October, 1922, in Alba Iulia. The show ends with her last moments of life, when she declares her legacy and her dream to realize the Union of all Romanians, in spite of all odds.
