Synopsis:

Focuses on a woman who is judged to be sick by society but heals and brings joy to others around her by force of her presence and personality. The most famous patient of Kellokoski Mental Hospital, Anna Lappalainen is diagnosed as a manic depressive with symptoms of schizophrenia. When brought to the hospital, she claimed to be a princess and did not want to be addressed by her own name. Her arrival sets off a long battle between Lappalainen and the hospital staff over her identity. Eventually, the hospital becomes the Princess's castle, where Anna holds court bringing joy and healing to her surroundings and everyone in them.

Princess is based on real-life events and a real person. Cabaret dancer Anna Lappalainen (Katja Kukkola), drifting from one foster home to another, ends up in psychiatric care and soon the hospital staff and her fellow patients see that she's suffering from severe delusions. She claims to be 'Princess', a member of the English royal family from Buckingham Palace.
