4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days

Highlights:

At the end of the Ceausescu regime, two college-age girls (Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu) need a doctor (Vlad Ivanov) for an illegal abortion, but his price is unthinkable. This film wowed international critics and took the Cannes Palme D'Or. Director CRISTIAN MUNGIU talks about his reasons for telling this story, his cinematic recreation of Communist Romania, and about competing at Cannes with his second feature.
