About this filmv

An African prince travels to Queens, New York, to find a woman who will love him for who he is, not his title. The movie is a fish-out-of-water comedy that looks at class, wealth, and identity. The scenes in the palace are filled with lush golds and rich fabrics, while the city looks grey and busy.
