Any film that graphically handles abortion in the country that gave birth to Pope John Paul II is bound to stir up a certain amount of controversy. In this story, the oldest of two sisters fell in love with a fellow medical student, became pregnant, had an abortion, and broke off with the would-be father. Many years go by, and her younger sister falls in love with a doctor, and becomes pregnant. Soon it is discovered that both sisters had gotten pregnant by the same man - and circumstances arise which may make an abortion necessary for the younger sister as well.
