CINEMANIA Film Festival

Bobigny Court, November 1972. Marie-Claire Chevalier, 16, stands accused of having undergone an illegal abortion with the help of her mom.

Both mother and daughter are represented by attorney Gisèle Halimi, who urges them not to plead guilty. Instead, Halimi intends to put the unjust law itself on trial. Directed by Lauriane Escaffre and Yvo Muller, this gripping film brings to the big screen a pivotal true story that marked a major milestone in the legalization of abortion in France. Charlotte Gainsbourg and Cécile de France return to the CINEMANIA lineup with performances more nuanced than ever.

Selected at the Cannes Film Festival, this film will be presented as a Montreal premiere at this 32^nd edition of Festival CINEMANIA.
