In France, nearly one in three women has an abortion at least once in her lifetime. Although legalized in France some 40 years ago, abortion is not an easy topic of discussion.

From the first consultation to the final decision, this film accompanies four women - Bianca, Marina, Nathanaëlle and Sygrid - in their choice to terminate their pregnancy.
Between their medical appointments and day-to-day life, they take time to think about their choices. It’s a challenging period of their life, full of daily questioning.
An intimate portrait of contemporary women about to make a decision that’s lawfully theirs - a law that women have fought for very hard.

The press:
« This documentary reveals the intimate decision of women who exercise their right to freely dispose of their own body and demonstrates that this decision still carries a social and cultural weight.” - Hélène Marzolf (Télérama 12 July 2017)

"A documentary that should be watched by those who believe that (...) abortion has become a trivial act for women..."
(Josyane Savigneau – lemonde.fr)
