Movie Haiku:Set during the last year of the Ceausescu regime, harrowing film follows Romanian college student (Marinca) determined to help her roommate (Vasiliu) obtain an illegal abortion. Since Jan is old enough to remember friends in comparable situations here in the USA, she''s frustrated that universal dimensions have been underplayed by most critics.
