When young Daria, at only 18 years old, reaches in a rehab clinic to get rid of her heroin addiction, her innocence saves her from the advances of the men inside and surprinsingly they offer her protection. Admired and protected by all, Daria enjoys the attention, until she finds out that any special treatment has a price. “Imaculat” is a psychological drama, the main character ends up being subjugated, while the interventions of the medical staff, happen exclusively in extreme situations. The film tells us a story of survival to a point, then it becomes a story of liberation.
