Virgin Territory

Set in a Tuscany scarred by plague, ten young Florentines hole up to ride out the sickness. Rather than swapping stories like their literary muse, they dive into a succession of flirtations, daring escapades, and chaotic misadventures. What follows blends swordplay, romance, and cheeky humor as the troupe slips between taverns, skirmishes, and clandestine trysts. The vibe leans into bawdy playfulness and bright, energetic action, keeping the tone light even when the world outside is grim. The result feels like a playful spoof of medieval excess, delivering racy banter and slapstick while never taking itself too seriously amid the peril outside their walls.

Directed by David Leland, Virgin Territory premiered in 2007 as a cheeky homage inspired by Boccaccio's Decameron. The film pairs romance and action with bawdy humor as a band of youths seek freedom amid sieges, duels, and plunder.

Reviewers were mixed about Virgin Territory, praising its carefree energy but criticizing some crude jokes. The movie hints at freedom and desire under hardship, pairing light romance with raucous comedy while skewering medieval excess without aiming for deep sentiment.
