Summaries

"Misery and Fortune of Women", is a portrait about abortion and the realities of women from different backgrounds. Eisenstein captures stories revolving abortion (desired process or others that aren't but end up happening) and the harsh contrasts of a wide social abyss faced by women who have the conditions to go to a hospital and the ones who risk their lives in unsafe places.—Rodrigo Amaro
