Virtually a Virgin

About This Movie

Virtually a Virgin offers a raw, unsettling look into the life of an 18-year-old girl, Boróka, whose world spirals after a brief taste of wealth. The film's pacing is deliberate, almost languorous, which enhances the bleak themes of love traded for material desires. The atmosphere is heavy; you really feel the weight of her choices and the grim reality she faces with her pimp, Ronaldo. The performances, particularly from Boróka, are strikingly authentic, capturing a mix of vulnerability and resilience. It’s a gritty exploration of the darker side of youthful dreams gone awry, set against a backdrop of almost poetic despair. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve the narrative well, highlighting her emotional decline.
