00:00A girl spends a lot of time alone at home with her mother's boyfriend, so in the middle of a
00:04journey of self-discovery with a friend, things get out of control. So in case you didn't see it
00:10or left it halfway through, I'll tell you, princess. This story begins with a girl named
00:15Addie who wakes up next to her mother Alma and her mother's boyfriend, Michael, where the mom
00:21tries to wake both of them up since they like to sleep in late. Then Alma gets ready to go to one
00:26of her jobs since she currently spends her time covering multiple shifts to make ends meet,
00:31while the others, very relaxed, take their time fully waking up. But it's clear that something
00:37is wrong and Addie's dark future is approaching. Before going to work, Alma takes her daughter to
00:43school since she has a meeting with a teacher who tells her that Addie has been very absent from her
00:49classes and doesn't seem to want to improve. So he lets her know that the principal and he have
00:54talked about the possibility of expelling her. Alma very calmly tells him that she thinks the same
00:59and that if they think it's appropriate, they can go ahead, while the teacher tells her that Addie is
01:04very bright. But she needs a bit more focus so she doesn't go completely off track. Later, when
01:11they're on their way home, Alma assures her daughter that they're not going to expel her since she realized
01:16the teacher was a good person. So she asks her to get it together and not fail in class. Meanwhile,
01:23Addie is upset because she tells her mother that she saw her flirting with the teacher. But the
01:28mother assures her that it's not true and asks her not to speak to her like that. Later, they return
01:34home where Alma greets her boyfriend who spent his time lounging around the house. Help me reach my

02:03seems that this is normal between them. Then he approaches Addie and it seems that they get along very
02:08well as they talk about the problems Addie had in class. While Michael knows how to make her smile,
02:13at night, she sees how her mother and her boyfriend dance very close in the kitchen. But she still
02:19doesn't understand what's going on. At that moment, her mother pulls her a dance too, who doesn't seem
02:25very excited, but still plays along with her mother, while Michael just keeps preparing dinner and
02:30watches them dance. Shortly after, everyone goes to sleep. But Addie can't because she starts hearing
02:37strange noises from her mother's room. So she quietly approaches and realizes they are doing it,
02:42though without understanding what's happening. She just goes to her mother, who, upon seeing her,
02:49asks Michael to give her a minute. Then Addie tells her she has a stomach ache. But her mother,
02:55seeing it's not that serious, just tells her to go back to her room since she still has things to do.
03:00At dawn, Addie wakes up tired, as she couldn't sleep well. So she talks to her mother, who tells her
03:06it must be some virus going around and asks her to make sure she rests and skips school for a few days.
03:12However, she doesn't pay much attention and just leaves for work, since she'll be working late
03:17that day. After a while, Michael returns from work and checks on Addie, who seems to be feeling better.
03:24So he starts tickling her cheerer up. Meanwhile, Addie finds the affection her mother doesn't give
03:30her. But the downside is that Michael goes too far with his playful hand, while Addie doesn't think
03:36much of it. At dawn, Addie discovers red liquid. So she immediately tells her mother, who says it's
03:43normal since she's growing up. Strangely, Addie asks her to keep it a secret and not tell Michael.
03:50Without giving it much thought, her mother just says she'll keep her secret and leaves her some
03:55cash to buy a nice shirt, since she deserves it for being so brave and handling things responsibly.
04:01Addie goes out to find a clothing store, but along the way, she spots a couple of boys playing and
04:08curiously approaches them. There, she meets Alan, with whom she immediately gets along very well.
04:15It seems they understand each other as they talk about the problems they have.
04:18Later, Alan accompanies Addie to the store, where they buy matching shirts. As Addie sees that it fits
04:25her perfectly and gets his approval. She realizes he's the perfect friend she had never had before.
04:31The friends go out into the street to keep talking about their things, where the conversations seem
04:37endless. At dusk, Alma runs into Addie between the streets and asks her why she took so long to return
04:45home. Addie then introduces her friend Alan and says she spent the whole afternoon talking to him,
04:50losing track of time. She also asks Alma to let him stay at their house, since his father will be
04:56arriving in the city soon, and he currently has nowhere to stay. The mother says they don't have
05:02guest rooms, but Addie tells her he can stay in her room, so strangely, the mother ends up agreeing.
05:08At night, while everyone is asleep, Alan asks Addie to borrow some cash. She takes him to where her
05:15mother keeps the savings, but asks him to only take small amounts daily, so she won't notice.
05:20At dawn, Addie sees Alan is still asleep, but doesn't want to get up yet, so she asks Michael to prepare
05:27breakfast. He reveals that he's lost his job, something he hasn't told her mother yet, though
05:33the good part is that they'll have plenty of time for themselves. As they often do, they start playing
05:39with their fictional stories, recreating a kind of play, and in the end, both of them end up tired on the
05:45floor. Some time passes, and Alan also starts getting along well with Michael, even becoming
05:52his model for drawing. Alan tells him he's a real prince, and they both have fun together. At night,
05:58Addie approaches her mother, clearly wanting to tell her something, but since Michael is there,
06:04she decides to go to her room instead. Michael catches up to her and tries to cheer her up,
06:10so they start tickling each other. The downside is that Alma doesn't seem too happy seeing them,
06:15and tells Addie to go to sleep, since she has to wake up early for school. Before that, they have
06:21dinner, where Alan is already seated at the table, so they eat and toast to Addie's new friendship.
06:27Some time later, everyone is resting, while Alma asks Alan to wake up early to accompany Addie to class,
06:34as she wants to make sure she attends. But what no one realizes is that Addie was still awake,
06:40and heard them. The next day, Addie does attend class, where she promises the teacher that to make
06:46up for lost time, she will arrive earlier to catch up on her studies. However, the teacher still notices
06:52that something is wrong, and asks if everything is alright at home, to which Addie assures him it is,
06:59and simply leaves. Later, when classes end, Addie and Alan have fun together for a while,
07:05during which she asks what his father does for a living. Alan reveals that he is a great businessman,
07:11but is currently facing many problems, though he doesn't give many explanations, and just leaves.
07:18However, he soon returns, and they continue their conversation, where Addie confesses that Michael
07:24is not a normal man because, in reality, he can't have children, though Alan doesn't seem to care
07:31about this. Some time passes, and both of them are at home watching TV, when they suddenly feel the
07:37temperature is very high. They dress more lightly, and start getting to know each other better. But the
07:43downside is that Michael was spying on them. Upon realizing this, they both try to escape. However,
07:51he ends up catching Addie, and tells her that her mother told him she is all woman, while noticing
07:57her blush. But Addie says it's just because it's hot. That night, Michael takes Addie out for a walk,
08:03and tells her he will take her to a very special place. An abandoned area where many go to do the
08:10unmentionable. He points out that many from their class are there, but since Addie doesn't respond,
08:16they eventually leave. Later, they pass by Alma's workplace, who is unhappy that he brought Addie
08:23along, since it's too late for her to still be awake. Besides, Alma has noticed that Addie hasn't
08:29been feeling well the past few days. The family arrives home, where Addie brings some dishes to
08:35her mother to wash. But her mother gets upset, and sends her to bed since it's too late for her to be
08:40awake. Meanwhile, she confronts Michael because he still hasn't gotten a job. Later, in the early
08:47hours of the morning, Addie can't sleep as usual because she hears the commotion in her mother's
08:52room. She tries to cover her ears, but notices that Alan is also awake, and he finds the noises amusing,
09:00which lifts Addie's spirits, and helps her stop thinking about it. Then she asks him if he has been
09:05with someone. So Alan reveals that he has, and begins to give her details about how it all happened.
09:11In the morning, Addie realizes that her mother has already left for work, and that she fell asleep
09:17with Michael, who tells her that the results of his tests have come in, since they had ordered some to
09:22see why he couldn't sleep, but Addie doesn't seem to care. Still, later on, Addie stops by for the results.
09:30But upon seeing that those in charge are very busy, she decides not to ask for them, when suddenly she
09:36runs into her father, who greets her happily, and asks if everything is okay at home, to which Addie
09:43assures him it is. Additionally, her father asks if her mother still has her boyfriend. So Addie lets
09:49him know that she does, and that they seem very much in love. Her father then just gives her some fruits
09:55and vegetables to take home, as he has to leave for work, though it's clear Addie wanted to tell
10:00him something, but didn't dare to. Later, Addie returns home, where she sees Alan having fun with
10:07Michael, just like she used to before. But in the middle of their games, Michael asks Alan to take
10:12him outside to meet his friends, since he disappears from time to time, and spends a lot of time with them.
10:19So he'd like to meet them. However, Alan doesn't answer, and just leaves. Because of this, Addie goes
10:26after him, but loses sight of him, and instead goes to her mother, interrupting her in the middle of
10:32work, as she tells her that Alan is always very close to Michael, and she's worried for his well-being.
10:38However, Alma thinks she's exaggerating, and tells her to go back to school instead,
10:44though Addie reveals that she has stopped going, and doesn't plan to return. After all,
10:49she wants to work as a model. Michael even told her he wants to draw her as God brought her into
10:55the world. Alma doesn't believe her, and, annoyed, sent her home. Then, Addie returns to her house,
11:03where she sees that Alan has already come back, and has been convinced by Michael to be his model,
11:09while she just listens to them. At dawn, Alma notices that her daughter is still asleep.
11:14So she asks if she's sick again, though her daughter replies that she couldn't sleep with
11:19all the noise Alma makes with her boyfriend. But Alma decides to ignore that, and just tells her to
11:24get up since she's leaving for work. However, Addie asks her not to go, and to stay with her. Alma,
11:31seeing her daughter strangely asking this, tells her she'll call work to report she's sick,
11:37so they have a mother-daughter day. Suddenly, Addie tells her she saw news from another country,
11:42where someone was expecting a child with their own father. But Alma says that only happens in other
11:48places where people are mentally ill. At night, Michael approaches Alan, who seems to have a slight
11:54fever. So they try to calm him down in their own way, while Addie goes to her mother, and first asks if
12:00she loves her or Michael more. Alma assures her that she loves her more, so Addie asks if she wants to
12:07see the bad one. But despite hearing her clearly, Alma just ignores her and falls asleep. Later,
12:14Michael goes over to Addie and ends up doing the unthinkable. So Michael just returns to Alma to keep
12:21resting, with Alma apparently unaware of anything. Meanwhile, Addie sees that Alan slept through the
12:28whole thing, and didn't notice either. At dawn, Addie tries to wake Alan, but sees that he keeps
12:34sleeping late, both of them now sharing the same secret. Some time passes, and they're at lunch as
12:41they usually do, but suddenly Alan can't take the situation anymore, and tells them that they are the
12:47worst family, causing a lot of chaos, and they end up leaving the house. Addie runs after him, but even
12:54though he sees her, he doesn't stop and keeps walking until he disappears, making the girl realize what
13:01she has lost. At night, after searching for a while, Alma manages to find Addie, and tells her that maybe
13:08she misinterpreted things, and that she should come back home. But Addie says things to her just like
13:13Alan did, so her mother tells her she's gone crazy. Alma also tells her that everything is the fault of the
13:20game she plays with Michael, while reminding her that he's her boyfriend, and not Addie's, to which Addie
13:26keeps saying things back, and Alma can't take it anymore. At night, exhausted by what has happened, Alma
13:33teaches Michael a lesson without saying a word. He manages to break free, and both of them stay silent. At
13:40dawn, Addie cuts her sandwich with the very object Alan had brought, revealing that he had only existed in
13:47her imagination all along. She then says goodbye to her mother, and leaves for school, as everything
13:53will remain the same, and there seems to be no change. This was the summary of Princesa. More videos
