Three girls in Jakarta, each experiencing problems at home: Biyan’s wealthy father is a womanizer and often brings his date to the house; Stella’s parents are completely indifferent to their daughter’s needs; Ketie and her single mom struggle with financial difficulties. The girls have to face heavy issues: prostitution, unwanted pregnancy, running away from home.

Virgin shows a different side of life in Indonesia, seen through the eyes of teenagers who want to belong, but also choose for themselves. A controversial film with a Virgin twist.
