Plot

Virgin 2, a story of two female teenagers forced into ill-fated professions: Tina (Christina Santika) and Nadya (Joanna Alexandra). Nadya, Mitha (Smitha Anjani) and Raymond (Ramon Y. Tungka)who have been friends since high school do not have a “good grip on life” coming from families that lack harmony. Raymond becomes imprisoned due to drugs and unknowingly leaves Nadya pregnant. Mitha enticed by the allure of escaping reality turns to drugs leading to addiction and massive debt. Nadya tries to save Mitha, whether the money comes from her work as a Disc Jockey or by other shortcuts. Tina, driven from home by her jealous mother becomes involved with Steffie who provides her a room in her apartment. Unknown to Tina, Steffie is a teen that measures everything with money, leaving no room for no room for morality. Tina's life is further pushed into darkness when she is given to Yama (Yama Carlos), raped, and then pimped off to men. Tina manages to escape and in turn meets Nadya. Together they face the hardships of their increasingly darkening world filled with lucrative neon signs.

This was not their choice, because they had no choice.

Production

The film was produced in early January 2009. The film's producer, Chand Parwez Servia, emphasized the "bukan film porno" ("not a porn film") tagline to show that the film is made for educational purposes. The soundtrack consists of the songs "Dia" by Budi, a band from Bandung, "Kuingin" and "Rock n Roll" by Sixx Band, and "Terlantar" by Bintang Band.[1]

Reception

According to Aguslia Hidayah from Tempo, this film does not have a clear message, as compared to the previous film in the series, Virgin, which tells teenagers to avoid promiscuity. "Nayato is focused into unraveling the story, which is said to be a true story from the character Nadya, and forgot to sharpen the message itself," she said.[2]

gollark: <> is usable maybe, right?
gollark: I mean this semiunironically. It is *already* possible to generate fairly artistic images automatically via CLIP+VQGAN and similar things. This will only improve over time. Because people often like knowing that people went to some effort to make a thing, though (see handmade goods, etc.) there will probably be demand for human art anyway.
gollark: You are MUCH like Intel's flagship Xeon Platinum 8380 "Ice Lake" 2P server configuration.
gollark: Art will be automated in 10 years anyway.
