Happening

Audrey Diwan · 2021 CE · Film · French · Contemporary

A gifted literature student in 1963 Angouleme, weeks from the exams that would take her out of her parents' cafe, finds she is pregnant, and abortion is a crime that also convicts anyone who helps. The week count appears on screen as her options close. From Annie Ernaux's account of her own case, which this archive does not hold.
