Storia
Biale Malzenstwo (1992) follows two teenage girls, Blanca and Pauline, living in an old manor house. They accidentally tune into a historical film about sexual mores while watching TV one evening. This film serves as a catalyst for them to imagine themselves in the past, experiencing the same events but with different societal norms. In this alternate reality, Blanca struggles with her sensitivity and rebellion against the traditional role mapped out for her - an arranged marriage with Benjamin, whom she doesn't love. Pauline, on the other hand, is more adaptable and casually accepts her grandfather's advances while being jealous of Benjamin. The story unfolds around these complex relationships, with Blanca's fears pushing her towards madness as she realizes she can't preserve her purity or achieve a 'marriage blanc'.
