Romania 1987, the era of the repressive Communist regime. Gabita Dragut and Otilia Mihartescu are friends and college roommates, they living in the coed dorm. One day in their life is presented, this day when Gabita hopes to get an abortion, which is illegal in Romania. They have told no one beyond those that need to know, such as their friend Ramona, who recommended Mr. Bebe, a man they don’t know and have yet to meet, to do the procedure. Otilia has not even told her bourgeois boyfriend, fellow student Adi Radu, despite Otilia borrowing money from him for the many expenses. Gabita has made most of the arrangements, such as talking to Mr. Bebe on the telephone, he who provided very strict instructions to her, and booking the hotel room at the Unireal where the procedure will be done, the reservation for three days just in case Gabita’s recovery ends up being on the longer side, but Otilia, in Gabita’s emotional descent, has to do much of the heavy lifting in preparation for the abortion today, such as checking into the hotel, ensuring the room is adequate and all the supplies needed are there (including some black market items, such as foreign cigarettes, just in case they need to bribe anyone), and picking up Mr. Bebe. The process is fraught with potential problems as they are required to show and surrender their ID to anyone in authority for the asking, even to the hotel receptionists in their coming and going. As the day progresses, Otilia and Gabita’s friendship is tested as one problem arises after another, Otilia who has to decide how far she will go for her friend. And the goings-on of Otilia and Gabita’s day will also make Otilia reflect on her relationship with Adi, from who she is receiving pressure to make an appearance at his mother’s birthday dinner this evening, Adi’s parents who she has yet to meet.

罗马尼亚1987年，共x专x的时代。加比塔·德拉古特和奥蒂莉亚·米哈特斯库是朋友和大学室友，他们住在男女同校的宿舍里。这是他们生命中的一天，加比塔希望堕胎，这在罗马尼亚是非法的。除了那些需要知道的人，他们没有告诉任何人，比如他们的朋友拉莫娜，她推荐贝贝先生做手术。贝贝先生是一个他们不认识的人，现在还没有见面。奥蒂莉亚甚至没有告诉她的资产阶级男友、同学阿迪·拉杜，尽管奥蒂莉亚向他借钱支付了许多费用。加比塔已经做了大部分的安排，比如和贝贝先生通电话，贝贝先生给她提供了非常严格的指导，并在将要进行手术的Unireal酒店预订了房间，预订了三天，以防加比塔的康复时间变长，但奥蒂莉亚，在加比塔情绪低落的情况下，他不得不为今天的堕胎做很多繁重的准备工作，比如入住酒店，确保房间足够，并且所需的所有用品都在那里（包括一些黑市物品，比如外国香烟，以防他们需要贿赂任何人），以及接贝贝先生。这个过程充满了潜在的问题，因为他们需要出示身份证，并将其交给任何有权要求的人，甚至是酒店接待员。随着时间的推移，奥蒂莉亚和加比塔的友谊受到了考验，一个又一个问题出现了，奥蒂莉亚必须决定她将为她的朋友走多远。奥蒂莉亚和加比塔节的发生也会让奥蒂莉亚反思她与阿迪的关系，因为阿迪的父母还没有见面，她正承受着今晚在他母亲的生日晚宴上露面的压力。
