Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This documentary concerns the archaic custom of selecting a town virgin, who will be the leading citizen for a day. Celebrated by the church, speeches and a party, the virgin is admired for her virtue after she is chosen by the mayor and the town council. The event is solemnly celebrated annually in Pessac, France.
