Although the question of virginity seemed destined to disappear, there has been a resurgence of this custom. In the United Stated and in Europe, there are more and more women who join movements promoting abstinence until marriage. In Maghreb, far from claiming it as a choice, women continue to yield to tests to inspect their virginity. As a reaction to this pressure, a number of them resort to operations such as hymenoplasty (reconstruction of the hymen). And yet, as this film will show, physiologically, virginity does not exist. What is it a symbol of in our contemporary world?

A Brilliant Conflict
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
