It presents three separate but interconnected stories centering around women facing unplanned pregnancies in different eras – the early 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s. The film explores themes of choice, responsibility, and the changing societal attitudes towards abortion through these narratives. Each vignette offers a unique perspective on the complexities surrounding unintended pregnancies and the decisions women have to make regarding them.
