On 11 July 1975, one year after the law legalising abortion was passed, another piece of legislation was passed more quietly, one which would also revolutionise the lives of women and families in general: the law on divorce by mutual consent. Divorce, whilst still a difficult decision to make, thus became more accessible and less dramatic.
This documentary looks back at this quiet revolution, which profoundly changed the concept of the family, as told by those who played a leading role in it: women of all generations who divorced between the late 1960s and the 2000s.
