What happens in Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Anymore from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The film opens by pulling back the curtain on Hollywood’s glossy myth of a perfect, glamorous first time, only to drop us into a real moment experienced by Jane as she loses her virginity to Steve. The scene is far from magical, uncomfortable and candid, and in the middle of it Jane asks Steve to stop. She then heads to a late-night party at the local cinema where she works, hoping to find some clarity after the night’s mix of feelings. At the party she talks with coworkers about love, sex, and luck: Ericka, a bisexual punk musician; Matt, who drinks away his worries; Ryan, who amuses himself with smiley-face memorabilia; and their understanding gay boss Dave.
