Synopsis
Otilla and Găbiţă share the same room in a student dormitory. They are colleagues at the University in this small town in Romania, during the last years of communism. Otilia rents a room in a cheap hotel. In the afternoon, they are going to meet a certain Mr. Bebe. Găbiţă is pregnant, abortion is illegal and neither of them have passed through something like this before.
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.
