CGiii Comment
It starts off pretty well....but, halfway through it falters and fails.
It is as predictable as all other films in this genre - the rejection felt when the lover discovers the cock (tiresome to say the least).
The performances are all good, the moody, the mad, the madam - but, bring nothing new.
And that's the problem, not only is it unoriginal...but, it shambolically descends into a kind of Pretty Woman for pre-op trannies.
It may appeal to some...but, it really lacks the necessary depth to be important.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Fernando, a.k.a. Fernanda, a 19-year-old Brazilian transvestite, travels to Milan and becomes a prostitute to finance sex-change surgery. Fernanda dreams of becoming a "real" woman, but in Milan is instead transformed into Princesa, a mysterious figure of allure. When she meets Gianni, a straight-laced, married businessman who falls in love with her. It all seems too good to be true...and it is.
