## Summary

Paris-based MMM Film Sales has acquired international rights to Ecuadorian director Christian Rojas’ debut feature, “Princess” (“Ñusta”), ahead of its world premiere at Tallinn Black Nights. The film follows a 12-year-old Indigenous girl in the Andes who wants to be chosen as her community’s festival princess while navigating her gender identity and transition.

The story connects Kallpa’s search for identity with her Indigenous roots and Andean worldview. The film is in Tallinn’s First Feature Competition and was made by Ecuador’s Epopeya and Oso Rojo Films with co-producers from Peru, Argentina, Mexico and Bolivia. Rojas says it is not about one specific Indigenous community; the filmmakers worked with the Sid Sid Anejo community in Cañar, where it was filmed.
