This is a Passionate and Extreme Movie plenty of love , drama , tragedy and death . It deals with the story of a love triangle between two young men (Asier Etxeandia , Alex Garcia) and a woman (Imma Cuesta) , the Bride , who is a Triumph of Beauty. Inseparable since childhood, the Bride and the Groom share a gentle, and yet, ardent passion, stronger than the desolate, exposed and stark land that encircles them and perhaps even stronger than love itself. And the Bride follows through the air, like a blade of grass . Then the Neighbor (Ana Fernández) comes to chat with The Mother (Luisa Gavasa , Goya Academy Award winner ) , and reveals to her that The Bride was previously involved with a man named Leonardo Felix, a relative of the men who murdered The Mother's husband. The Mother, who still hates the Felix family, is furious, but decides to visit the girl before bringing the matter up with The Groom. But the lovers carried away by their passion defying all moral and social habits . Their disobedience will have unexpected consequences. Now riddled with indecision, the fair Bride is due to marry the gentle and stalwart Groom, however, the unconventional Leonardo, a married man (married to Leticia Dolera) with a baby and a mutual childhood friend, still feels the same unrestful, reckless, still, achingly hopeless passion for the Bride. Eventually, as the Bride silently prepares for her wedding , the feeble flesh will soon succumb to carnal yearning , devoured by deception and to the long-boiling passion .
A few of the themes present in ¨Blood Wedding¨ are the cycle of life, the progression of time, conflicted choices, anguish , deception, fate, forbidden yearnings, unappeased desires and nature. The unavoidable fate of three lovers standing powerless before the true nature of man , along with a Freudian reading of the play reveals Lorca to be exploring human nature. The theme of choice is evident in the characters of Leonardo, the bride, and the bridegroom.The theme of fate also ties into the themes of choice and deception. The bride's choice to marry the groom, despite the fact that she still loves Leonardo. This is ironic, because she attempts to choose both men and loses both of them instead. Fate plays an important role in the plot of Blood Wedding, with its plot twists and final outcome. Finally, the theme of nature is present in Blood Wedding: the moon, the trees, the river, death (in the form of the beggar woman), the vineyard, orange blossoms, etc. These references to nature suggest that there is something predetermined in human nature, and relates back to fate.

Frankly marvelous support cast such as : Luisa Gavasa , Carlos Álvarez-Nóvoa , Leticia Dolera Ana Fernández , Trujillo , María Alfonsa Rosso , Manuela Vellés , Mariana Cordero .
