Storia
In Cristian Mungiu's '4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile', set in Romania under the brutal Ceausescu communist regime in 1987, Gabita (Laura Vasliu) finds herself five months pregnant with an unwanted child. She turns to her friend and roommate Otilia (Anamaria Marinca) for help in arranging an illegal abortion. Due to circumstances beyond their control, they are forced to rely on an unscrupulous abortionist named Bebe (Vlad Ivanov). The process becomes complicated when Bebe demands sexual favors from Otilia as payment. Throughout the film, Gabita and Otilia navigate this tense situation, with Otilia's moral integrity being tested.
Riassunto

The story revolves around two women, Gabita and Otilia, who find themselves entangled in an illegal abortion process due to Ceausescu's restrictive policies on birth control and abortion. The film explores themes of friendship, morality, and survival under oppressive conditions, culminating in a chilling final scene that underscores the harsh reality of their situation.
