La loi

29 ноября 1974 года Национальное собрание Франции приняло так называемый закон Вейль, разрешающий аборты. Он был принят при активном участии тогдашнего министра здравоохранения Франции госпожи Симоны Вейль. Фильм приурочен к 40-летию принятия этого закона и показывает три дня ожесточенных дебатов при его рассмотрении.Этот фильм показывает, что мы не уникальны - другая страна, другое время, а риторика до боли знакомая. Все те же опасения, что "у этих (подставить название региона) рождаемость выше". Та же боязнь ужасного слова на букву ф (заканчивающегося на -еминизм). И те же группы интересов, бурное обсуждение, и среди бушующих эмоций усталая главная героиня упорно делает то, что считает правильным. А в это время за пределами общественно-политических событий женщины живут и умирают.
