Unleashed (Déchaînées) by Raymond Vouillamoz (Switzerland, 2009, 90 min.). Lucie, a 19-year-old student, is pregnant. Between her mother, who wants her to have an abortion, and her ex-boyfriend, who presents her with a wedding ring, she doesn’t know how to feel.
 |
When she discovers a look-alike while researching archival footage about the women's liberation movement, she convinces herself that she can find the answers if she can locate the mysterious woman. Soon she is startled to discover that the woman, Geneviève—a well-known feminist militant in Geneva—is actually her real grandmother. Why did she disappear? Challenging her own mother, Lucie discovers the truth and learns about the history of the fight for women’s rights in Switzerland. |
