"France, 1963. Anne is a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her.

With her final exams fast approaching and her belly growing, Anne resolves to act, even if she has to confront shame and pain, even if she must risk prison to do so…

Based on Annie Ernaux’s autobiographical novel of the same name."
