A passionate, visually rich adaptation of Lorca's tragedy that centers on desire and forbidden love amid family conflict and social constraint.

Based on the famous play "Bodas de sangre" (Blood Wedding) by Federico García Lorca, La novia tells the story of a passionate love triangle. A bride leaves her groom, no longer able to withstand the surging desires of her lover, Leonordo.
