“Princess puts a camera on the fringes of society and shows that interesting people dwell there, people who carve out their own world despite being at best looked down upon, and at worst shunned.” – Marc van de Klashorst, International Cinephile Society
Princess is a young Nigerian woman, an illegal immigrant selling her body on the outskirts of a big city.
Like an Amazon on the hunt, she moves through a pine forest that stretches to the sea where she finds shelter, laughs, quarrels with her friends and earns her daily bread. She sniffs out money, avoiding danger and dodging emotions, one customer after another. Until one day, Princess meets a man who genuinely wants to save her. But first, she has to save herself.
