Winner of the 2007 Palme d’Or.

It’s the last years of Communist rule in Romania. Otilia and Gabita attend their local university. Today Otilia books a room in a cheap hotel, where Gabita is hoping to get rid of her baby with the help of a backstreet abortionist. However, things don’t quite go to plan.

Balancing sardonic humour with a pitiful critique of Romanian life under the crumbling rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Cristian Mungiu’s stunning film cemented the reputation of what became known as the Romanian New Wave, a collection of filmmakers looking at life in their country before and after Ceaușescu’s fall.
