This is a film about human nature, gloom, society. It tells the story of Gabita, who was abandoned by her boyfriend in Bucharest, Romania, and found her roommate Otilia to help her secretly have an abortion. Otilia agreed and tried her best to help her complete the abortion. Starting from the content of the film, the film uses suitable materials to start from specific marginalized people to show the situation reflected by the society. Long takes are based on low-key images to set the film's gloomy tone. The films are all made up of long shots. There is no small depth of field or switching of the depth of field to grab the audience's attention. The choice of viewpoint is often transferred to the audience's attention to the film in the form of long shots, and the emotions that the director wants to express are included. In the long shot, so the audience can feel the gloomy feeling of the film from it. Long shots can highlight the reality of space, so that the film has continuity in time and space. With the reality of space, there is emotional reality, so the audience can feel the emotions expressed by the film. To ensure the authenticity of space, maintain the continuation of time authenticity, shape the world illusion presented by the film, let the audience fall into it, and further strengthen the film's emotion. While shaping the reality of the space, it can also link the narrative reality with the emotional reality. When watching the film, the thematic connotation expressed by the film can arouse the emotional resonance of the audience. The director wanted to insinuate what happened to Gabita and Otilia, the specific marginal characters of the film, to the society in a small way, causing people from all walks of life to think and discuss the current situation in Romania. In terms of material aesthetics, the film uses appropriate material to shape the realism of the film. The long-shot transition between the materials and the scheduling of the scene can give enough space and time to the film, so that the time and space are no longer disconnected, but appear in a continuous time and space, and the material can become real. On the material, the director did not make too many artistic modifications to it, and kept its realistic content. The director practiced what Bazin said, "every time you add an audio-visual value-added element, you will lose the psychological activity of cognition of the material. ”, which can increase the authenticity of the film and let the audience experience the gloomy feeling of the film. On the film material screen, the material of the film is mostly taken from the real environment, and the material is not subject to too much formal processing. Formal processing will destroy the realism of the film, making the audience unable to integrate into the film when watching the film, and the realistic part is effective. It removes useless means of realism, such as the noise caused by the use of too many listening relationships, the lighting makes the picture no longer close to reality, and the excessive editing marks destroy the space and time of the film. Through effective realism, the film can create a relatively real world, allowing the audience to integrate into it and bring it into the gloomy feelings of the film. On the level of realism and romanticism, according to the situation reflected in the film, there is a contradiction between realism and romanticism. In the film, the doctor can be regarded as the representative of realism, while Gabita and otilia are the representatives of romanticism. There is a conflict between them because of the difference between reality and romantic values. In the first part of the film, the doctor's attitude towards his mother is very excited, but he becomes submissive in front of the hotel counter. This kind of character comes from society. Romania was deformed under socialism to form totalitarianism at the time, and abortion was banned in order to increase the country's population. In this social context, people's freedom is imprisoned. Doctors have their own freedom at home, but they have no freedom in the realm of noumenon, and they start to become cowardly. This is the problem that appeared in the social system at that time. A chaotic age, a chaotic society, a chaotic crowd.
