In order to begin to talk about Toña Nacida Virgen ''Del Oficio", I must first begin with an anecdote:
In the year 2020, 2 years ago I was watching on YouTube few spanish videos related to a Top 10 of the Mexican movies prohibited/censured by certain year by certain regulations stipulated by the Mexican Government; among those movies were Vamonos Con Pancho Villa 1935, La Mancha de Sangre 1937, La Sombra del Caudillo 1960, La Rosa Blanca 1961, La India 1976, Canoa 1976, La Viuda Negra 1977, Las Apariencia Engañan 1983, Presunto Culpable 2011, Tenemos La Carne 2016, etc.
As I was watching one of those two Top 10's videos, one certain movie caught my attention, specially after listening that that movie was very rare; do to the fact that there wasn't even a poster of it, and the information about it's synopsis was very scarce, very minimum. Quickly, I began to search information related to that movie, and what Toña Nacida Virgen 1982 was about; finding a very particular and interesting result, that was described to me in one simple sentence: A LITTLE GIRL WHO WANTS TO BE A PROSTITUTE LIKE HER MOTHER... Later I found out, after done a little more research about it, that the movie was based on a book, an autobiography to be more precise, by a lady named Antonia Mora; a woman who at early childhood had been exposed to that type of life.
Afterwards, I began a desperate search trying to find this movie, because after I had read the short and scarce synopsis, including the fact of knowing that it was based on someone who had been involved in that life at an early age, I was searching and searching without any result at all; and to be completely honest, I was about to gave-up after two years of searching (from 2020 to 2022), but finally on this year 2022, my efforts payoff... I FOUND THE MOVIE.
Righ-away, I proceeded to watched it, and honestly it was a very good crude experience. Why a crude experience?, because the movie is a portrait of a crude reality, the crude reality a woman who wants to follow her mother's ''footsteps"; wanting to be a prostitute. According to the research I done in the past, this movie was prohibited by the government do it's strong portrait of the prostitution, and they weren't kidding about it: From the initial credit sequence to the final credit sequence, there has not a moment, not any scene that are not loaded with a doses of controversy; including a group of kids at the beginning that want to imitate ''costumer and seller" mannerisms; including the treatment some of this ''costumers" inflict to this women; and let's not forget some of the preversities this ''costumer'' put through this women, like forcing them to execute an act of zoophilia... Horrible, isn't it?, but unfortunately nobody care about it, because everything focuses on a woman involved on "the World's oldest profession" (prostitution).
Unfortunately, this electrifying story of realism doesn't have subtitles; but if you had an understanding of the spanish language, than you will enjoy it.
