Between doubts and awkwardness, three roommates go through a night marked by the abortion of one of them.
One spring evening, three roommates endure a night marked by the abortion of one of them. Between support, awkwardness and silences, they seek together how to accompany their friend in this moment without landmarks. Set in a student apartment in Lausanne, this film explores the bonds of female friendship through improvisation, trust and the complicity of the actresses. Blending fiction and reality, L'Avant-Poste 21 seeks to portray abortion not as a drama, but as an intimate event experienced collectively by these three friends.
