I saw “4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days” on Friday night.  I was completely mesmerized.  The film portrayed a college student, Gabriela, who was in need of an abortion, and her roommate, Otilia, who is helping her.  Abortion and contraceptives were illegal in Romania when this film takes place, in the 1980s.  The girls’ experience throughout the film is horrible, and is depicted magnificently.  I really felt like I was there with them, and could barely sit still during the many unsettling parts.  I continued to ponder the issues the film raised after the show, and will continue to do so.  Though I don’t know much about Romania, I feel like this film gave me a glimpse into their cultural ideologies.
