Blessed Are The Girls is adapted from Mariana Enriquez's short story Our Lady of the Quarry. AS MARIANA ENRIQUEZ PUTS IT,”Girls can be like bees or like locusts: there’s something toxic and delicious and exotic about them together—they can convey a certain power. They are a coven, and they are vulnerable…” THE STORY TAKES PLACE IN A QUARRY, WHERE THE GIRLS HAVE TO COMPETE FOR MALE ATTENTION. AS IT PROGRESSES, THE SUPERNATURAL WORLD BECOMES STRONGER, AFTER THEY DISCOVER THE VIRGIN STATUE IN THE QUARRY CAVE.
