Three women struggle in their social and cultural environments and face unforeseeable crises. Based on true events.
The story involves an Iranian girl from a religious family, a European call girl and a Russian girl. Due to a prearranged marriage situation set up by her parents, Raha is forced to deal with and endure some very difficult and life-altering events. This is based on true events..
Virginity is being made for women of Muslim faith in the Middle East who have become the sacrificial lambs of honor killings; those women whose voices have been choked behind thousands of years of oppression; the same voices, which do not have an echo loud enough to be heard across oceans and mountains. Those same women, who suffer at the hands of a false pride, an inflated bravado, and often die silent deaths buried by bribes and insufficient fines of a corrupt government. Those women need films like Virginity , so that they can fall in love without fear, so that they can experience the joys of womanhood without the terror of persecution. Virginity does not aim to single out at any particular culture or people; it poignantly and artistically draws attention to an antiquated epidemic of small-mindedness and control, which haunts the women of the world to this day. Honor killings, rape, prostitution and sexual trafficking are a few of the crises affecting the 3 leading characters at the heart of the film.
