The theses of Vladimir Propp already demonstrated that the subversion of the essence of stories could give them, inexhaustibly, new and surprising meanings. Along these lines, the film "Blancanieves" by Pablo Berger, based on a complete Spaniard reformulation of the classic tale, offers an interesting paradigm of literary creation for the language teacher. This dark and expressionist version of the traditional tale, at the service of a social satire of the Spain of bullfighting, and redefining the role of women, etc., seems to us to be exportable and exploitable as an example of creativity for countless exercises of rewriting stories in the language class.
