  • Movie_large

In late-80's Romania, close friends Otilia and Gabita are faced with the urgent problem of Gabita's unwanted pregnancy. Their solution is to seek an illegal abortion, but the consequences that follow from their actions are as unforeseen as they are horrific. Brutal, unwavering, and brilliantly acted, Cristian Mungiu's riveting film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Mungiu delivers an exceptionally well-paced story that is at turns intense, provocative, and disturbing; as we witness the unfolding drama of individuals, their personal duress is set into relief by the oppressive atmosphere of Nicolae Ceausescu's government.
