You’ve heard all about it, now see the film of this original work by IC students! Princess Addison (Addy) is sent as a peace offering from her home country of Adlburrow to the “traditional moral beacon” nation of Provincia. There she is greeted by the self-hating, closeted yet charming King Victor, who introduces lesbian Addy to her betrothed, the oafish yet loveable Prince Dimitri. But Addy takes far more notice of Dimitri’s sister – fiercely rebellious Princess Dahlia. Addy immediately falls for Dahlia, but knows if the king catches her acting any less “traditional” than a medieval June Cleaver, he’ll retract the peace between Adlborrow and Provincia, and her nation will suffer a crushing military defeat.
