'Virgin' is a compelling short film following 16-year-old Abigail as she experiences a pregnancy scare that forces her to re-evaluate her beliefs and emotions surrounding the Virgin Mary.
Raised with a conservative religious outlook, Abigail has deep resentment and confusion about purity, faith, and her autonomy as a young woman.
Through emotionally charged moments and symbolic storytelling, she confronts her anger toward the Catholic Church while slowly forming an unexpected connection with the humanity of Mary.
The film presents a bold exploration of faith, shame, and self-discovery in the face of rigid ideology and patriarchal pressure.
This is an intense, layered piece ideal for actors eager to delve into emotionally complex and socially relevant themes with courage and honesty
