In 1960s France, abortion was strictly prohibited by law. Anne, a brilliant young university student studying literature, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. As she attempts to hide her pregnancy, which continues to advance, she faces the crisis of interrupting her studies. Unwilling to be trapped by discriminatory frameworks and refusing to bury her future dreams, she decides to take a risk despite this unspeakable secret being hindered by conservative doctors and judged by others, and even facing potential imprisonment. Even if it means pain, despair, and tearing trauma, she is determined to seek liberation at all costs.
