Nena, a girl from the south of Italy, has to travel far from home to get her first job as a teacher. She is sad, not because she has to leave her mother and sister, but because she is having a serious love affair with someone from her village to whom she is very committed: they promise that nothing will change between them. It is only until June and then she can ask for a transfer.
And so she leaves, a little sad and a little curious about what is in store for her. But what she finds is completely different from what she imagined. It's much worse: a school isolated on a high mountain plain, wild children, people she has nothing in common with and a hostile environment. She sticks it out because of pride and because Francesco loves her for her courage, until one cold February day when everything goes wrong, everything seems lost forever...

This Irish story is set in that time of a girl's life, when she is no longer a child and not yet a woman.
The world of our heroine, Maeve, revolves around her three friends, Ruth, Claire and Orla, who are all more experienced than her in the ways of the world. They wear bras already and they've all had boyfriends. They really hope Maeve can find a fella, even offering kissing lessons to prepare her.
What no one expects, least of all Maeve, is that she should snare the local sixteen-year old heartthrob. We follow her through this experience and see her grow a little older and a little wiser...

The Finnish film Princess is about a woman, judged to be ill by society, who heals and brings joy to people around her with her presence and personality. As she heals her surroundings more effectively than the prevailing healthcare system, society attempts to suppress this individual's inner light. Princess is a light-hearted film based on a true story, concerning the most famous patient of Kellokoski Psychiatric Hospital, Anna Lappalainen.

Diagnosed as manic depressive with symptoms of schizophrenia, Anna Lappalainen claims to be a princess when brought into the hospital and does not want to be called by her own name. Her arrival kick-starts a long battle between Lappalainen and the hospital staff over her identity and her right to dictate her own personality. Eventually Kellokoski Hospital becomes the Princess' castle, where Anna holds court bringing joy and healing to her surroundings.

Official Trailer of the Princess Directed by: Arto Halonen Written by: Paavo Westerberg, Pirjo Toikka, Arto Halonen Cast: Katja Kukkola, Samuli Edelmann, Kri...
