Summaries

A young female gynecologist tries to break taboos in the sixties: women's right to own and control their own body.

A gynecologist makes her way through the sixties (which were not a happy time for everyone,contrary to received ideas ) ;she's still an intern in a hospital and sometimes clashes with her macho colleagues -there were few women doctors in the sixties-;she writes her diary ,and the movie is a long flashback in which she flips through the pages of her book , remembering events of her occupational life .Women's right to own and control their own body was still pious hope.—dbdumonteil
