L’Événement

a film by Audrey Diwan

1963. Anne (Anamaria Vartolomei), finding out that she is pregnant, is desperate for help. Her so-called friends, aware that terminating pregnancy can land Anne in jail*, tell her that it’s not their problem.

This powerful drama, based on the novel of the same name by Annie Ernaux, is shown as a part of the cycle Diversidad, Igualdad y Cultura organised by Instituto Canario de Desarrollo Cultural (ICDC). Not for the faint-hearted, I must warn you.


* It was not until 1975 that abortion was legalised in France.
