7 Virgins (Original title: 7 vírgenes ) is a Spanish film by the director Alberto Rodríguez from 2005. The drama about the 16-year-old Tano, underlined by Latin jazz and hip-hop , illuminates the milieu of criminal youth .
The title refers to the naive popular belief, which is also thematized in the film, that you can see your future if you put a candle in front of a mirror and then stare at yourself for 60 seconds. This procedure is called the seven virgins in Andalusia .
action
The 16-year-old Tano is in the youth prison. He has 48 hours of free time to attend his older brother's wedding . Tano uses this time to pay a detailed visit to his neighborhood. With his friends he savored his short period of freedom. But his unleashed lust for life will ultimately be his undoing.
