Through the portraits of nine women resorting to abortion, this movie "depicts the monstrous character which often reveals these barbaric practices".

At the end of the 60s, Germany produced numerous films for sexual education (or Aufklärungsfilme) which, behind this label of educational documentary, were allowed to go a little further into the world of eroticism and shocking images. After The Sensual Male, Helga: the intimate life of a young woman and Girls at the gynecologist, here is In Trouble, one of the biggest German film successes in the US and who remained nevertheless invisible for 40 years, and in which we discover Sybil Danning in one of her first roles.
