Virgen negra 2011
“Black Virgin”, a precious treasure. In Mozambique, the sexual life of many women begins when they are forced to marry at the age of 10. Or with sexual abuse in schools. Traditional beliefs such as that AIDS can be cured by having relations with a virgin. Then come pregnancies too close together and polygamy: second, third, fourth wife of the husband. Traditional abortions caused by roots, which often end with maternal death. And the end of sexuality when you turn 45. Daily realities that Linda, Aicha, Gwyneth, Luisa and Emilia tell us. We talk about sex. And we see it. “Black Virgin” shows an intimate sex scene between a man and a woman. No taboos.
