What happens

24 Hours in the Life of a Woman (French: Vingt-Quatre Heures de la vie d'une femme) is a 1968 French-West German drama film directed by Dominique Delouche, based on the novella Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman by the Austrian author Stefan Zweig. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France. The book on which the film is based had previously been adapted as 24 Hours of a Woman's Life in 1952, and was later adapted as 24 Hours in the Life of a Woman in 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
