With her loutish husband, Paul (François Cluzet), away at a labor camp during World War II, Marie Latour (Isabelle Huppert) struggles to support her two children. After helping a neighbor with an abortion, Marie realizes she can improve her family's finances by assisting other women who are trying to terminate unwelcome pregnancies.
