Frauenarzt Dr. Schäfer

The respected gynecologist Prof. Hausen is averse to performing abortions. In contrast, his up-and-coming colleague Dr. Schäfer sees abortion as a means of helping women in need and openly advocates an amendment of the law.

Louise Fleck presents her drama about the untimeliness of restrictive abortion legislation against the backdrop of modern urban reality.
