Shortly after a tragic accident that left the legendary matador Antonio Villaltea paralyzed, his wife dies during labor. Antonio marries the nurse Encarna who takes care of him, and leaves the upbringing of his daughter Carmencita to the grandmother, a former flamenco dancer. Jealous Encarna tries to murder Carmencit, but she escapes together with the travelling group of dwarves-matadors and becomes a famous matador known as Blancanieves.
This peculiar, modern adaptation of the famous fairy tale won ten prestigious Goya awards, including those for best film and original screenplay.
