The Palme D'Or prizewinner at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, the Romanian drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days set in the last days of Communist rule considers a woman's struggle for an illegal abortion. Actress Anamaria Marinca, who plays the woman's best friend, discusses casting and explains why abortion isn't really the real topic here while writer-director Christian Mungiu outlines the emergence of what's being called the New Romanian Cinema with this film, The Death of Mr. Lazerescu and 12:08 Bucharest.
