Cannes 2007 Palme d'Or Winner. When the flighty Gabita ecides to terminate her pregnancy – a crime in Romania from 1966 until 1989 – her fiercely loyal university dorm-mate and best friend, Otilia, accompanies her to a hotel room to be “helped” by one Mr. Bebe, the only black-market practitioner they can afford. Taking place over a single Saturday in 1987, the film holds an enormous emotional gravitas. It evolves into a profound exploration not only of sorority in harsh times but of choices and responsibility when options are few.
