In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters, who are obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys, commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family's fatal melancholy in this modern classic adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola. The Virgin Suicides is a hypnotic and unforgettable tale of adolescent love, disquiet, and death. Class of 1999: A Most Original Year.
