What happens

The Tsarevich (German: Der Zarewitsch) is a 1929 German silent historical film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Iván Petrovich, Marietta Millner and Albert Steinrück. The film's sets were designed by Willi Herrmann. Like the 1927 operetta Der Zarewitsch by Franz Lehár it is based on a play by Gabriela Zapolska, inspired by the troubled relationship between Peter the Great and his son Tsarevich Alexei.
