  Set in Communist Russia, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is about two university friends, Otilia (Anamaria Marinca) and Gabita (Laura Vasiliu), who schedule an illegal abortion for Gabita with a stranger, Mr. Bebe (Vlad Ivanov).

  Despite efforts made to keep the situation under wraps, certain arrangements fall through, which provoke Mr. Bebe before the procedure. As a means to keep Mr. Bebe from walking out on them, Otila sleeps with him, much to Gabita's dismay. The abortion goes on as scheduled without further complications.
