Synopsis
SWORN VIRGIN
“Beautiful” and “Uplifting,” SWORN VIRGIN follows Hana who, to escape the prospect of wifely servitude in her Albanian village, takes an oath of eternal virginity to live in the mountains as a man. Years later, feeling imprisoned by her choice, she visits her sister and family in Italy and discovers the pleasure of sexual intimacy. There, she experiences an awakening to become a new and liberated person.
