(2022, Italy, 110')
Princess is a young Nigerian woman and an undocumented immigrant to Italy. She works the streets. Like a legendary Amazon, she travels to a sort of enchanted forest, a large pinewood extending as far as the sea and a place of solace, as well as sustenance. It is there that she meets her johns. One day, after a fight with her fellow women, Princess meets a man who looks willing to help her, but she’ll soon find out that the only person she can rely on is herself.
