Directed by Dolores Fonzi | Argentine | 2025 | 1h 48m | Spanish w/ English subtitles | Starring Gaia Garibaldi, Julieta Cardinali, Dolores Fonzi, Luis Machín, César Troncoso

In a socially conservative region of Argentina, a woman hospitalised for abdominal pain discovers she is pregnant. After suffering a miscarriage, she is charged with infanticide and imprisoned. With the support of her attorney and women’s rights advocates, she fights for justice in a landmark case that could change countless lives. This poignant, award-winning drama is based on a true story that sparked Argentina’s feminist movement and marked a crucial first step toward the legalisation of abortion in the country. Argentina’s submission for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards. 

Reviews

‘Dolores Fonzi channels Pedro Almodóvar in this taut, true-life tale of a woman who is wrongly arrested while in hospital.’

We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
