     This film is a spin off of snow white and the seven dwarf's,  but the snow white is the banished daughter of a paralyzed spanish matador, and whose mother died in childbirth.  From her birth she was followed by miss fortune.  Her grandmother (who looked after her because of her fathers remarrying) dies of a heart attack very early on in her life.  She is then taken back by her evil step mother.  Who puts her to work in the house as if she was one of the maids.
      Her father was kept in a room, in a wheelchair away from everyone else.  Carmen is isolated from her father.  She is not even told where he is or reintroduced to him.  Her crazy step mother is a very erotic.  She wants to marry Antonio because he is extremely rich and the greed makes her cold and distant to the man she married.  Carmen is shunned from spending any time with here father because of her crazy step mother.  An when Encama gets onto Carmen about it she has her taken into the woods and killed or so she thought.
      When Carmen is saved by a band of traveling dwarf matadors she has lost all memory of her past life.  Until she discovers that she is actually a natural when it comes to bull fighting when she saves one of the matadors lives in the arena who falls in love with her.  The others become debunked with their behavior and want her for them selves.
       Carmen is drafted to a large bull fight in a local city.  This being such big news it is published in magazines and thats when we see her step mother has discovered that she is not intact dead anymore. very cross about this she goes to the fight to take maters into her own hand.  When there dressed in black she offers the poisoned apple to Carmen.  She eats the apple and falls into a deep sleep and the dwarfs seek revenge for her.  She is cornered and left to the bulls.  From there Carmen is put on display, deeply asleep and waiting for her true love to come wake her with the loving kiss that she had found once before.
