A photographer mesmerized by a forest’s beauty will get more than what he bargained for when he discovers that the forest is not just full of luscious greens, but it is also full of greedy and lustful humans.
Francis (Sid Lucero), a photo-journalist commissioned to take pictures of the largest flower of genus Rafflesia, known as Rafflesia Schandenbergiana. It’s a parasitic plant species endemic in the province of Bukidnon. It is known as Bo-o to the Bogobo tribe or Kolon-Busaw to the Higaonon tribe. While fulfilling his assignment inside the forest, he chanced upon an illegal logging operation and a prostitution den.
Such were the circumsatnces when he meets Angela (Katrina Dovey) and her younger sister Karla (Angeli Khang), who are both captive prostitutes. Francis’ professional endeavor takes a backseat as he musters all his courage to save both girls before it’s too late.
Award-winning Tirador and Kinatay director Brillante Mendoza is on a roll this 2022, as he makes his fourth movie Virgin Forest, after the success of Palitan, Sisid, and Bahay na Pula on Vivamax. Brillante Mendoza also recently produced Kaliwaan and Pusoy for Vivamax as his way of giving support to younger filmmakers.
For the role of Francis, he casts the talented and well-known actor Sid Lucero, who won the Gawad Urian Best Actor awards for his roles in the films Selda and Muli.
As for the young and beautiful sisters, Direk Brillante gets the fast-rising newcomer Katrina Dovey for the role of Angela and VMX K-Krush Angeli Khang for the role of the younger sister, Karla.
