Virginity / Devstvenost

Anything can be sold and bought in our modern world. Virginity too. How much is its worth in dollars? Is it worth keeping till marriage? These are the questions girls ask nowadays. But is virginity the only thing a modern girl is ready to sell? Vitaly Mansky’s film follows the stories of three teenage girls from the provinces who come to Moscow wanting to succeed. Each of them has her own plan. One girl hopes to enter popular reality TV show “House 2”. The second thinks she is the new Madonna, or at least, another Britney Spears. The third girl is ready to sell her virginity to get the money she needs for her studies.
