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.
A stark, unflinching look at survival during wartime. It feels heavy and grounded, exploring difficult choices and the quiet strength found in desperate circumstances. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of occupation and personal struggle.
