Annie is a young woman from a working-class family who is studying at a university in Paris. She becomes involved with a married man, but their affair ends when she becomes pregnant. Annie is faced with the difficult decision of what to do with the pregnancy. Abortion is illegal in France at the time, and she cannot afford to travel to England for the procedure.
Annie feels isolated and alone in her struggle. Her father is unsupportive, her friends are judgmental, and her lover has abandoned her. She seeks help from a group of feminist activists who are campaigning for the legalization of abortion. Through their support, Annie gains the courage to fight for her rights and take control of her own body.
Happening is a powerful and emotional portrayal of a young woman's struggle for self-determination in a society that denies her agency. It is a testament to the importance of women's rights and the fight for reproductive freedom.
