Chicago, 1968. As the city and the nation are poised on the
brink of political upheaval, suburban housewife Joy (Elizabeth Banks) leads an ordinary life with her husband and
daughter. When Joy's pregnancy leads to a life-threatening heart condition, she
must navigate an all-male medical establishment unwilling to terminate her
pregnancy in order to save her life. Her journey for a solution leads her to
Virginia (Sigourney Weaver), an
independent visionary fiercely committed to women's health, and Gwen (Wunmi Mosaku), an activist who dreams
of a day when all women will have access to abortion, regardless of their
ability to pay. Joy is so inspired by their work, she decides to join forces
with them, putting every aspect of her life on the line. (US, 2022, 121min., English, R | Dir. Phyllis Nagy)
