Overview

France, World War II. In order to somehow make ends meet, the mother of two children, Marie Latour, does underground abortions and rents a room to a familiar prostitute. She doesn't pay any attention to her husband, who returned from the war because of his injury and lives her own life. Abortions gradually begin to bring a good income, and boredom can be easily dispelled by starting a young lover.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A stark portrayal of a woman's moral descent as she navigates survival and self-interest during the Nazi occupation of France. The film unflinchingly documents how circumstance, ambition, and complicity can transform an ordinary person into someone unrecognizable.
