PÖFF Goes to Cannes
Mo Amor
Mo Amor follows Kaur, a photographer, who tells a fairytale about Princess Niina—lost in her search for herself despite the love of three suitors. When Niina embraces her true identity as Kaur, he invites his ex-boyfriends to his summer home—his castle—to seek forgiveness and reveal his true self. Kaur’s tale unfolds into a poetic journey of healing, love, and acceptance.
