Too provocative for their African parents and too shy for Canada’s biggest city, virgins! follows the lives of four 20-something year-old women straddling two cultural spheres, navigating adulthood as premature adults, love & relationships as virgins, and dodging Aunties along the way.
Set in the multicultural hub of Toronto, Canada, their experiences are nuanced and contextualized through their cultural duality as East Africans - Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali & Sudanese - and Canadians.
