## Summary

Estonian writer-director Eeva Mägi’s modern fairy tale *Mo Amor* follows Princess Niina as she searches for her identity, sheds her crown and reunites with former lovers. The film centres a trans man in a story about love and self-discovery, challenging prejudice and questioning whether love can survive the truth.

The film will have its world premiere on 16 November in the Critics’ Picks Competition at Tallinn’s Black Nights Film Festival. Mägi says fairy tales can make difficult subjects feel universal, and that she wanted to portray transgender love as simply love. The film reunites several actors from her earlier work and was made with a small budget through an open, exploratory process.
