After 10 years of silence, Sofia D'Marco has written her personal real life experience of captivity into a narrative screenplay. It is not just a ‘rape’ story, this is how I lost my virginity is about breaking silence - using art to let others know they are not alone.

This is how I lost my virginity is a real story.

After being violently abducted off the streets, Sara is taken to a remote location, only to realize that her kidnapper is no stranger. Written and starring the young woman it actually happened to, the short materializes a moment that has defined her life as a woman - she endured a torturous love story between a thug and his unwilling bride.

Through the honest story of Sara and Loco, the film explores consent and why no one seems to have ever met a rapist before. In Loco’s opinion, this is a love story - a modern day Romeo and Juliet. In actuality, Sara is his Rosalind- not his Juliet.
