Synopsis
The 32-year-old clergyman August returns home from years of missionary work abroad because of the death of his sister Christina, who- after going from greatness to the gutter as the famous porno star "The Princess"- has finally died of drug abuse. She has left her five-year-old daughter Mia with Karen, a prostitute. August pays them a visit to bring Mia home with him and become her guardian. Burdened by sorrow and guilt, he decides to avenge Christina's death and brings Mia along on a crusade to clear his sister's name of pornographic connotations. The mission escalates into a brutal and violent rout as August attempts desperately to protect the only thing he holds dear- namely Mia- forcing him to make a fateful decision.
