When I was only thirteen years old, in the late spring of 1941, the day I first met her, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France, and I got my first bicycle.
With wavy black hair, the most fashionable skirt and stockings, and high heels full of lust and temptation, she came to the quiet sunny town of Sicily. Her every move is eye-catching and reverie, and her smile teaches men to be intoxicated and women to be envious. Marlena, like a goddess, conquered this seaside paradise.
At the age of thirteen, Reinado also involuntarily fell into the whirlpool set off by Marlena, who not only rode his bicycle with other older teenagers, shuttling through all corners of the town, searching for Marlena's alluring beauty and style, but also quietly became her unwitting little follower, following and peeping into her life.
Her swaying shadows, the music she listened to, and her close-fitting clothes have all become the most real and beautiful erotic fantasies of this hormones-drowning teenager.

《处女之誓》Sworn Virgin
The story takes place in distant Albania.
Due to the climatic and geographical conditions in some remote mountainous areas, the traditional farming life is not applicable.
As a result, the strict social concept of "strong men and weak women" was created.
A woman is born to marry, and after she marries, she must obey her husband's family in everything.
You can't have your own mind, you have to teach your husband and children wholeheartedly.
These words are cruel, but they are true here.
Hannah and her sister have lived in this closed village since childhood.
Boys of the same age can go out, hunt, and be majestic.
But they had to stay at home.
If you sneak out and are found by the elders, you will be beaten violently.
The injustice on the road to growth made Hannah see it in her eyes and remember it in her heart.
I don't know when she has made a vow in her heart,
She will never marry when she grows up.
Locally, however, this oath also means,
Hannah is going to give up her qualifications as a woman forever and become a man.
The shadow sir specifically checked that there is indeed such a tradition in some mountainous areas of Albania.
In front of all the men in the village, the woman swore to renounce her identity as a woman on the premise of remaining a virgin.
From then on, not only must you tie your breasts, cut your hair, and wear only men's clothes,
Even the toilets can only go to the men's restroom.
Even though the conditions were so harsh, Hannah agreed.
With a gunshot in the sky, she becomes "him".
Hannah died, and a boy "Mark" was born.
But Hannah's sister's choice is diametrically opposed to her, and her sister elopes with her lover.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Mark follows the men in the village every day to hunt and fish.
has become a real man who is full of masculinity.
However, with the death of her parents one after another, she was the only one left in the whole family.
With her mother's dying letter in hand, she decided to go out of the mountains to find her sister, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years.
The moment she knocked on the door, my sister was still shocked.
The dress of the person in front of her made her too scared to recognize her.
At this time, her daughter came over, and in a hurry, her sister could only say that the person standing outside the door was her younger brother.
For the parting of ways between the two sisters, my sister has never been able to let go of her heart.
My sister is too timid and yearns for the mountains, but she has never taken a step.
But she was so "brave" that she actually took the "virgin vow".
And for Mark, everything about the big city made her seem so out of place.
I've never been to the supermarket, and I don't know that the contents have to be paid for before they can be opened.
On the other hand, her niece's curiosity about her gender also embarrassed her.
One night, while everyone else was asleep, Mark walked over to his sister's bedside and watched intently as they slept.
It was a curious look.
She doesn't know what love is, and she doesn't know what it's like to be in love with men and women.
Her sister told her that it was hard to explain the feeling.
"It's like drinking, it's like burning, once you get it, you're going to be free. ”
The niece became more and more curious about the identity of this "uncle", and under her questioning, Mark finally admitted that he was not a man.
In order not to reveal her feminine features, she had to wrap layers of bandages around her chest every day,
Even if it has been covered with red rashes all over its body.
The niece who learned the truth went to the store to pick out a set of underwear for her.
But Mark never wore it.
Not only high heels, lipstick, bags...... What a woman pursues has no idea to her at all.
Gradually, the daughter's enthusiasm still attracted the attention of her father.
He warned his daughter not to get too close to this "uncle",
Because the person in front of him is Mark, not Hannah.
There was no way, Mark had to move out and live alone, and in order to make a living, she also found herself a job as a security guard.
Since he had accompanied his niece to the swimming pool a few times before, there Mark met a caretaker.
Every time he saw this person, Mark was a little nervous.
She couldn't tell what it was like, but she was afraid of what it would really be like.
But when it did, Mark chose to follow his heart.
She didn't refuse the kiss, nor did she refuse what happened next.
My sister also let go of the knot and came to the house that Mark rented outside with the feminine items she bought.
And this time, she used "Hannah" in her title.
The two sisters opened the last letter left by their mother, and it turned out that their mother had long since stopped hating her sister's escape.
In her heart, the choices of her two daughters are brave and great.
In the bar, the two sisters stood in front of the crowd and sang the song of freedom.
At this point, Hannah finally turned around gorgeously, she is no longer a mark, and she doesn't have to sneak to the men's bathroom every day.
She was herself, a simple woman.
