To survive Nazi-occupied 1940's France, Marie turns to illegally aborting pregnancies for a hefty fee. But things take a disastrous turn after one of Marie's "customers" dies and her husband turns her over to the authorities. Inspired by the real-life of Marie-Louise Giraud, who was executed in 1943 by the Vichy Government, who'd declared abortion as a Crime Against the State because it diminished the number of potential soldiers.
