Synopsis
Women in the Maghreb undergo virginity tests, a practice that continues despite growing movements for abstinence in the United States and Europe. Many women face societal pressure to conform to these standards. Some choose hymenoplasty, a surgical procedure to reconstruct the hymen. The film argues that virginity, as a physiological concept, does not exist. It questions what virginity symbolizes in contemporary society. Directed by Feriel Ben Mahmoud, "Like A Virgin" runs for 52 minutes.
