Introduction to Princess DVD
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your Princess DVD. The film, from the producers of Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, and Breaking the Waves, blends live-action with careful animation to tell a compelling story.
The narrative, described as having "echoes of Taxi Driver," follows August, a missionary priest who returns home. His sister Christina, a declining porn star known as 'The Princess,' has died of an overdose, leaving her five-year-old daughter Mia with Karen, a prostitute. August's objective is now to care for the little girl, avenge his sister's death, and clear her name. Entangled in a brutal path of violence, August must protect Mia and make a fatal decision.
