📖 Synopsis

Galicia, 1901. Elisa and Marcela are two teachers who have been in love for years. To get married and escape social persecution, Elisa disguises herself as a man. Isabel Coixet recovers this real story of the first wedding between women in Spain with black and white photography of extraordinary poetic beauty. A film about love that defies all norms and about people who paid a huge price for daring to be free.

✍️ Our review

Isabel Coixet films a forbidden love story in black and white with extraordinary formal beauty. Natalia de Molina is unbeatable.
