Las Virgenes (The Virgins)

Las Virgines is a short narrative, gynae-horror, film depicting the story of four girlfriends, in their early twenties, who have all kept a pact of virginity, except one. Our story details the sisterhood of Luna and her best friends, Lupe, Andi and Esmi, and what happens when they use their devotion to an ancient deity to validate their twisted perception of faith and love. When Luna falls prey to a young man’s seduction, her friends warn her to be wary of his presence and are, ultimately, validated when they discover he has been hiding a part of his life from Luna. This results in several secrets coming to light about Luna’s betrayal and what she must do to redeem herself and the bond between her chosen sisters. The girls seek out The Virgin Mary for spiritual guidance, then move to a more ancient entity, to act as judge, jury, and executioner, when their honor becomes defiled. Through a radical inversion of The Virgin’s life-giving power, the four lead characters use that sacred strength to commit the ultimate sin.
