◎Introduction
Spain, 1898. Eliza and Marcella, two women in the budding stage of adolescence, meet inadvertently.
From the moment they met, the two were attracted to each other like an electric shock, and gradually rose to the kind of affection that only a hot love man and a woman can have.
Marcella fell in love with Eliza at first sight, and when she went out in the rain, she deliberately left her umbrella at home just so that Eliza would have a chance to help herself, and they watched the sea together and sued about dreams.
However, the ambiguity between the two was so shocking in Spanish society at the time that their parents could not tolerate it, and Marcella was almost completely imprisoned, and the two could only confide in each other through letters.
The days of such letters and letters lasted for three years, and the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger, and they were finally able to get rid of their imprisonment, find each other again, and decide to be together, even if they were not tolerated by the world.
So in 1901, Eliza and Marcella publicly held a wedding in Spain, which became the first lesbian wedding ever held in Western society, the public uproar, the two were mercilessly ridiculed and thrown into prison by the government...
"Film and Television 21st Century" Review:
The picture is extremely beautiful, the soundtrack is extremely dreamy emotional film, the film is adapted from the first pair of lesbian love stories in history to hold a wedding, from acquaintance and love to experience all kinds of tribulations and discrimination, through elopement to overcome many obstacles to come together, although the world is not tolerated, the two love is incomparably firm. But their marriage was illegal in Spain at the time, which did not recognize same-sex marriage legally until 2005.
