Es

A couple without a marriage license. She is 22 and a draftswoman. He works for a real estate agent, but his main focus is his career. When Hilke becomes pregnant, she doesn't dare tell Manfred. Instead she turns to her girlfriends for help with a drug-induced miscarriage, which fails. Several doctors refuse to perform an abortion. By the time Manfred finds out about Hilke's pregnancy, she's already on her way to a back-street abortionist. (Berlinale)
