Anna Marie de la Fuente Buenos Aires-based FilmSharks has swooped on the worldwide rights to “Virgins” (“Virgenes”) the latest comedy by Álvaro Díaz Lorenzo (“Lord, Give Me Patience”) ahead of its premiere at the Malaga Film Festival on March 17.

Powerhouse indie studio Filmax will release the film theatrically on June 20 this year. With a stellar cast led by César Vicente Romero (“Pain and Glory”), Xavi Caudevilla (“Los Protegidos ADN”)and Carlos Scholz (“Awareness”), “Virgins” is set in 1960s tourist haven Torremolinos in Southern Spain where Northern Europeans have escaped to in the winter months.

Its teaser, which debuts in Variety, opens on three young men in their hapless attempts to get it on with women. Best pals Honorio, Rafa, and Vicente, about to turn 20, dream of escaping their monotonous lives.

Inspired by a newsreel showcasing the tourist boom and newfound freedom on the Costa del Sol, they set their sights on Torremolinos, determined to change their fate – and, above all, lose their virginity to Swedish tourists.
