Real Snow White
Pilvi Takala
»My daughter thought she was the real Snow White.«
– A Mother
Pilvi Takala comes up against the Draconian regulations of Disneyland and the absurd logic of the true character of a Disney figure when she wants to visit the theme park dressed as Snow White. The wary security staff refuse to let her in and mystified visitors wonder whether she is the real Snow White.
