An autobiographical look back on the strange and disarming relationship of a mother and her daughter, My Little Princess explores the limits of control and contradictions inherent in artistic freedom from the microcosm of a perverse dynamic. Love and hate are almost interchangeable between Hanna (Isabelle Huppert) and her precocious daughter Violetta (Anamaria Vartolomei). Based on a true story, the film unravels the controversy of an idiosyncratic woman attuned to a bygone era whose lavish sense of style and lack of revenue resorted in her selling erotic photos of her daughter which caused a controversy in the French art world.
