The portrayal of abortion in the media often looks the same: a lonely woman staring somberly into the distance or hiding her tear-streaked face in her hands. The director seeks to uncover the origins of these deeply ingrained societal images, confronting them with reality and revealing how established narratives shape our perception of this difficult decision—one that has far more than just a single face.
