As founders of the influential Balkan Committee in London, brothers Noel and Charles Buxton travel through the Balkans in the fall of 1914 on an unofficial diplomatic mission. They arrive in Bucharest in the last days of Carol I's reign, who receives them in audience just hours before his death. A few days later, the two fall victim to an assassination attempt in front of the Royal Palace during the funeral of Carol I. We will try to reconstruct the atmosphere of those days and the impressions of the Buxton brothers' interaction with Romanian society.
