This is a showcase for new Romanian cinema. Director/writer Mungui captures the story of illegal abortion with honesty and a wonderful gift for natural dialogue. This is a must-see.

The film is set in Communist Romania in the final years of the Nicolae Ceaușescu era. It tells the story of two students, roommates in a university dormitory, who try to procure an illegal abortion. Inspired by an anecdote from the period and the general social historic context, it depicts the loyalty of the two friends and the struggles they face.

‘Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days is a stunning achievement.’ Jay Weissberg, Variety.com
