About

You can stream Story of Women (1988) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

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 up with a young lover.

Marie Latour navigates a brutal landscape of survival by performing illegal abortions to keep her children fed. Amidst the wreckage of post-war France, she prioritizes the cold necessities of life over a fractured marriage.
