It’s common for children to ask questions, especially when they’re awkward and difficult to answer. In this short, when her child asks her what ‘virgin’ means, a mother has to find a creative way of explaining it to her. She eventually realizes that the answer she gives may not be what her daughter was looking for. What makes What’s Virgin Mean? great is the clever scriptwriting and the way the pace changes later on in the film through the editing. It’s short, sweet to keep the audience’s attention while being very funny.
