Happening L'Événement
Synopsis
France 1963: Hoping to escape the social constraints of her working-class background, bright young college student Anne (Anamaria Vartolomei) devotes herself to her studies and has dreams of becoming a writer—until an unplanned pregnancy threatens to derail her future. In a society where women’s desire is erased and abortion is both illegal and entirely taboo, Anne searches for a way to take control of her life. As the weeks pass, her options grow increasingly limited. Winner of the top prize at this year’s Venice Film Festival and featuring an astonishing central performance from Vartolomei, this intimate, gripping drama is a resonant chronicle of the fight for personal freedom.
