Frauenarzt Dr Schäfer

The respected gynecologist Prof Hausen is averse to performing abortions In contrast his upandcoming colleague Dr Schäfer sees abortion as a means of helping women in need and openly advocates an amendment of the law The professors convictions are shaken when misfortune befalls his own family Louise Fleck presents her drama about the untimeliness of restrictive abortion legislation against the backdrop of modern urban reality Seriousness however is preserved because topics such as unwanted pregnancy sexual violence and the consequences of improperly performed abortions are not only addressed through minor characters but also placed at the center of the cinematic narrative Anna Dobringer
