Audrey Diwan’s Golden Lion–winning adaptation of the novel by Annie Ernaux tells the story of Anne (Anamaria Vartolomei), a talented young woman in 1963 France who must choose whether or not to abort a pregnancy in order to finish her studies and escape the social constraints of a working-class family. Set in an era and society where women’s desires, and sex in general, are censured, Happening’s protagonist must reconcile her own future and freedom with a decision that goes against the laws of the day.
