An Australian filmmaker, who auctioned the virginity of a young woman and man online for a documentary, says the movie isn't really about sex.
Justin Sisley, from Melbourne, hopes viewers will witness the transformation of the lives of Alex Stepanov, a 21-year-old Australian student, and 20-year-old Catarina Migliorini from Brazil.
Mr Sisley says Catarina's virginity was sold to a Japanese man called Natsu for 780 000 dollars, but Alex only managed to pull in 3000 dollars from a Brazilian woman in an auction.
He says he received hundreds of emails from people, mainly family groups, protesting against the auction and doesn't disagree with them, but says he'll let the film speak for itself when it's hopefully released next year.
Both Catarina and Alex will keep the money.
