Just shut up and suffer! What’s a satirical motto in this film is, in reality, what women are supposed to do when they have an abortion.
Does it hurt them? Yes? Very well, women do too. But it’s still talked about a lot, too little, which makes it all the more wonderful that this film does it – sometimes harshly, often humorously, always tenderly and cleverly. And with a lot of skill.
Two aliens come to Earth, decide together to have an abortion, and are amazed at the degrading procedures that German abortion law has to offer. You watch them as they marvel: Really – so female persons aren’t allowed to decide for themselves without restrictions whether they can keep a child? Oh, I see – but men have control over women’s bodies! The alien couple becomes increasingly astonished, and the audience with them. A miraculous shift that we are witnessing here, revealing the absurdities, humiliations, and violent experiences women have to endure every day in doctor’s offices, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
