Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, this unforgettable drama is so gripping it plays like a thriller. Set during the last year of the Ceauçescu dictatorship, ironically called the "Golden Age of Romania," life has become a nightmare for the hard-pressed citizens. The film unfolds over 24 tense hours as a college student (Anamaria Marinca) desperately tries to arrange an illegal abortion for her irresponsible roommate (Laura Vasiliu). As almost everything that could possibly go wrong does, the film reveals how oppression infects every aspect of the culture. A political, moral and spiritual knockout. Written and directed by Cristian Mungiu. (Fully subtitled)
