It’s 1987 in Communist Romania. Two young girls, Gabriela and Otilia, attend university in a small town. When Gabriela becomes pregnant, Otilia vows to help her get an illegal abortion. 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS, AND 2 DAYS is a haunting film based on a true story, and an unforgettable depiction of life in the last days of a communist regime.
“Writer-director Cristian Mungiu confirms the Romanian cinema renaissance while creating a paradoxical marvel: a bleak tale of illegal abortion that powerfully affirms one’s faith in people” -Ty Burr, Chicago Tribune
“Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days is a stunning achievement, helmed with a purity and honesty that captures not just the illegal abortion story at its core but the constant, unremarked negotiations necessary for survival in the final days of the Soviet bloc.” – Jay Weissburg, Variety
Sponsored by Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio, NARAL ProChoice Ohio, and OU Med Students for Choice.
