Princess

Adar, a 12-year old girl with a boyish look, lives with mother Alma (frequently away working) and step-dad Michael (recently unemployed) in a weird family dynamic. Adar is no stranger to the sexually-charged relationship her parents have, and becomes part of their power play.

What start as role-playing games between Adar and Michael morphs into sexual abuse, as we are lulled from fantasy into something more sinister. Adar meets Alan, a (possibly imaginary) abandoned Russian boy with a striking family resemblance who comes to live with them, helping Adar to cope with her dysfunctional family when she has no one to turn to. Michael seems even more infatuated with Alan, and the blurred lines between a young person's budding sexuality and finding their identity are wrapped into the psychology of her disturbing reality of abuse.
