About Film
Summer, 1976. Bea is 16 years old and becomes inspired by the winds of change that are sweeping the country. She joins a group of women whose aim is to help feminist cause become more visible and to secure women’s right to a legal abortion. The rebelliousness that Bea feels in her blood, combined with sudden, unexpected feelings, will turn her world upside down. Over the course of months, Bea will form a very special friendship with Maider, a girl who is somewhat older than her and from a good family. Her commitment to politics and her relationship with Maider will turn the summer of ‘76 into a pivotal moment in her life.
