Where to watch Story of Women (1988) tonight

Story of Women (1988) runs 1 h 48 min and averages 7.3 from 192 TMDB members. France, World War II. In order to somehow make ends meet, the mother of two children, Marie Latour, does underground abortions and rents a room to a familiar prostitute. She doesn't pay any attention to her husband, who returned from the war because of his injury, and lives her own life. Abortions gradually begin to bring a good income, and boredom can be easily dispelled by starting up with a young lover.
