In this poignant and intimate short film directed by João Pedro Faro, a young girl navigates the delicate terrain between childhood fantasy and harsh reality. The story centers on a princess-obsessed child who uses her vivid imagination as a refuge from the complexities of her everyday life, particularly the strained relationship with her father, portrayed by Bruno Lisboa. Her mother, played by Paula Mermelstein, attempts to bridge the growing emotional distance within the family, while a supporting performance from Lucca Filippin adds depth to the domestic drama. As the girl's fairy-tale world begins to blur with the difficult truths around her, she must confront the painful gap between her dreams and the people she loves. Running just 17 minutes, the film masterfully balances a bittersweet, melancholic tone with moments of tender warmth, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the transformative power of a child’s perspective. Without revealing its quiet revelations, Uma Princesa offers a deeply moving meditation on how even the smallest among us can find strength in make-believe.
