Synopsis:

- Princessa Diana wakes up in a room with no exit. She asks, “Where are my cigarettes?”-Her servants inform her that she has committed a horrible crime and the kingdom has a dark fate awaiting her. Whispers spread around the castle while she is locked in her room and stripped of her rights. Her sons try to help but soon realize something is different now. This nightmarish fairytale poses many questions: Who waits behind the walls of her Pr*son? And what power plans to replace her?
