Synopsis

Wherever you look, men drop like flies in Virago – a village where for centuries no man has lived long enough to see his fortieth birthday. Until today. Inspired by real events and set in rural Estonia where the harsh realities of present-day weave with the mystical, this film tells the story of virāgōs – women who possess both heroic and hostile qualities.
