This is an enjoyable story of friendship, self confidence, and abortion. It has been showcased by The New Yorker's Screening Room, a high honor. And can be viewed on YouTube under its English title, Memoir of a Veering Storm.

A young woman in her teens has the profound yet subtle support of her boyfriend and girlfriend in an hospital abortion that is depicted (non-graphically) as a meticulous procedure that in all likelihood leaves her in better reproductive health than before the surgery.

We see here that abortion is not a form of birth control. In this case, it is a responsible young woman who will not become "a child raising a child." She is decisive and wise in making her decision, and also remorseful.

There is gentle humor here, and decency and kindness by all of the characters, and a recurring dream the patient has of a beautiful deer in the forest that suggests that while unusual the surgery is a natural occurrence.

In short, the film is a movie version of the classic formulation used in describing the role of abortions in society, that they should be "accessible, safe, and rare."
