Snow-White is Carmen (Macarena García), a beautiful young girl with a childhood tortured by her horrible stepmother, Encarna (Maribel Verdú). While fleeing her past, Carmen sets off on an exciting journey accompanied by her new friends: a troupe of dwarf bullfighters. The unexpected and astonishing end of 'Snow-White' depicts a life more akin to gothic melodrama than a fairytale.
