Virgin Girl

Astu, Syaki, Didan and Balqi are four friends who are always the objects of ridicule at school. Astu has a huge crush on Astari, the most popular girl, but struggles to get her attention. Then a mysterious blind man tells him: "Everything will change if you can pick the Kembang Perawan (The Virgin Girl)!" Astu and his friends have no idea what the blind man meant until they see Kinasih, a pretty girl who is the flower of the village. Astu is instantly infatuated. Although the others feel the same, they give Astu the opportunity to go first.

Directed by Joko Nugroho, Virgin Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Adly Fairuz, Marrio Merdhithia, Kris Anjar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
