Let the Princess Stay with Us (1981)
Katka lacks for nothing except some emotional attention from her parents. One morning she leaves in her mother's dress and finds a garden where there is a chateau containing an orphanage. Tired, Katka goes into a room and there falls asleep. Not long afterwards some children discover her. Due to her clothes, they think she's a princess and hide her. The cleaning lady, however, finds her. At that moment, Katka's mother arrives and urges her daughter to come home. But the kids won't give up their "princess" and Katka joins the orphanage as a governess.
