1945 年，丹麦哥本哈根。这座城市刚刚摆脱纳粹德国的占领。身为管家兼家庭女教师的 Marie 即将嫁给一位富商，她心中藏着一段不愿被任何人发现的过去。当一位知晓她秘密的同乡友人再次出现，Marie 愈发焦虑不安。担心整个人生就此崩塌，Marie 拼命想要掩藏自己的过去。解放之初，丹麦和其他欧洲国家一样，纳粹通敌者迅速遭到解放军队和抵抗组织的惩处。曾与德国士兵有过亲密关系的女性，遭受了残酷的身体暴力。《女人，未知》透过施加于女性身体的暴力，毫不留情地审视男性主导的集体暴力与社会污名的运作机制。影片追问这种过度惩罚与近乎疯狂的集体暴力背后的目的，揭开了战后历史中可耻的一页。本片导演为 May El-Toukhy（《Queen of Hearts》）。
Danish director May el-Toukhy is well known for her emotionally charged, character-driven dramas. Following her feature debut Long Story Short (2015), she built international acclaim with Queen of Hearts (2019), which won the Sundance Audience Award, the Nordic Council Film Prize, and three awards at the Gothenburg Film Festival (the film was later remade by Catherine Breillat as Last Summer, 2023). Alongside her feature work, she has built a broad filmography directing episodes of television series including The Legacy (2017), Ride Upon the Storm (2017), Cry Wolf (2020), and The Crown (2022–2023). Her latest film — and third feature — after a seven-year gap, Woman Unknown, was the sole woman-directed film invited to the main competition at the 2026 Venice International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere to a seven-and-a-half-minute standing ovation.
