Plot Summary: Anne’s Struggle in 1963 France

In 1963 France, Anne is a promising university student in Angoulême. Despite having several close friends, she is often ridiculed by other students for supposedly being promiscuous. However, it is stated multiple times that all of the students “want the same thing”.

Anne’s Desperate Search for Help

While visiting her family in the country, Anne goes to see her doctor. Despite her asserting that she is still a virgin, the doctor informs her she is pregnant. Anne begs him to terminate it and he refuses, telling her that what she is asking is illegal. Anne visits another doctor in the city and also asks him for help with an abortion. He prescribes her an injection, promising her it will induce a miscarriage. When it fails, Anne searches for a doctor to perform a surgical abortion. Later we learn the injection was actually estradiol which, unbeknownst to Anne, helps maintain the pregnancy.

Anne’s Struggle Continues

Anne approaches a classmate, Jean, for help. He says that he doesn’t know anyone who can help her and propositions her for sex, noting there is no risk since she is already pregnant. Growing increasingly desperate, Anne attempts to perform an abortion on herself with a knitting needle on her bedroom floor, which fails. She informs her friends, who previously shared their desires for sexual intimacy, that she is pregnant and is trying to have an abortion and they abandon her. As her grades begin to suffer and her chance at graduating with honours begins to slip away, Anne goes to see Maxime, her “boyfriend”. Having previously been told by Anne that she intended to have an abortion, he is shocked to learn she is still pregnant, thinking she could handle the situation on her own. They fight and she returns to school, gaining no support from Maxime for the rest of the film.

The Turning Point for Anne

Jean approaches Anne at night to introduce her to a female friend who has had an abortion. The friend gives her the number of a doctor, explaining that the abortion will be painful and cost 400 francs in advance. Anne sells all of her belongings to pay for the abortion. It takes place in a woman’s apartment on her kitchen table. The woman instructs Anne that she will have to be silent so her neighbours do not hear. She inserts a wand and tells Anne that she will start to miscarry in 24 hours. Anne fails to miscarry and returns to the abortionist who inserts a second wand, telling her it is possible there will be complications. Anne decides to go through with the procedure nevertheless and returns to her dorm where she has a complicated and painful miscarriage. Anne is found by a dorm mate who calls an ambulance. Her condition is labelled a miscarriage.
