Once upon a time there was a little girl who had never known her mother. She learned the art of her father, a famous bullfighter, but was hated by her evil stepmother. One day she ran away with a troupe of dwarves, and became a legend. Based on the fairy tale “Snow White“ by the Brothers Grimm, the story is set in a romantic vision of 1920s Andalusia. Director Berger calls it a “love letter to European silent cinema“. BLANCANIEVES won ten Goya Awards, including best film, screenplay and music. De Vilallonga's lush score will be presented live at the Opening Night for the first time in Germany.
