The Princess and the Bandit turns the classic tale on its head. Yes, there is a princess, a king, a queen, a castle and a bandit. Nothing so unusual in that … until the princess becomes besotted with the outlaw! What will happen to the kingdom?
The princess is willing to use any means necessary to seduce the bandit - she will balk at nothing. The young girl hangs a portrait of her beloved on the wall – this felon is a real rock star! Here no roles are fixed! The princess makes the first moves and, when faced with the man’s indifference, she grows ever more inventive. With time her efforts seem to have an effect, as the wrongdoer realises money can’t make you happy and being out of sight does not mean being out of love. This is a useful lesson, showing that persistence pays. The story plays with the ideas of escalation and repetition, acting like an ear worm in a film that has no words but matches the beat of traditional music.
This cute and amusing tale shows that in life nothing is set. Our characters lack neither resources nor cunning and they make a winning duo. Ready to pick up where Bonnie and Clyde left off?
