Details

L'événement is a thought-provoking and powerful drama that takes audiences back to the 1960s in France, exploring a deeply personal and taboo subject of abortion when it was illegal. Based on Annie Ernaux's acclaimed novel, the film serves as an important reminder of the struggles women faced during this time.

The story revolves around a young woman named Anne, who finds herself facing an unplanned pregnancy. As abortion remains illegal, she embarks on a journey to find a solution in a time when choices were limited, and societal pressure was immense.
