If you loved Beyond the Hills, try 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share

What 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is
A student scrambles to secure a back-alley abortion before her roommate’s scholarship vanishes for good. In the grim glow of 1987 Bucharest, every bus pass and borrowed coin counts. The film hangs on their exhausted shoulders, a two-hander about small decisions with huge consequences.
