Synopsis:
In 1941, the Germans occupy a French town. We follow the story of a woman who, in order to secure a better life for her family, performs illegal abortions…
This film was inspired by Marie-Louise Girard who was executed in 1943 under the charge of committing a crime against the state. By performing abortions, she was said to have been minimizing the number of potential soldiers.
