Synopse

Puberty is giving Adar a hard time. The 12-year old girl skips school and spends most of her time at home. Her mother is fairly relaxed on the subject of sex and makes no effort to hide her love life with boyfriend Michael from her daughter. As Michael has just lost his job, he spends quite a lot of time at home. He and Adar pass the time with harmless jokes and role plays. But when Adar brings Alan home, a boy who looks extremely like her, Michael's behaviour changes completely. He is infatuated with the young visitor and develops a dangerous obsession. What began as open and liberal, slides into something dark and awful. Princess is a disturbing psychothriller that moves between reality and imagination.
