In 1987 Romania, under the brutal and repressive Ceausescu communist regime, against all odds, a young woman helps her college roommate to seek an illegal abortion. With powerful performances that accentuate the characters’ flawed humanity, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a gut-wrenching account of the impossible choices women face when taking control of their bodies means breaking the law. The film won multiple international awards, including the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. (2007 in Romanian with English subtitles, 113 minutes.)
