In 1987, on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Romania, then a socialist country, still had explicit laws against abortion. When Gabita, a college student in Bucharest who was abandoned by her boyfriend, became pregnant unexpectedly, her roommate and friend Otilia decided to give her a secret abortion. Through the introduction of friends, the two contacted doctors who were willing to perform surgery, and estimated that they had raised a considerable amount of money. No, the money they raised couldn't meet the doctor's request. At the location of the surgery - in a cheap hotel - doctors offered Otilia's body in exchange. In order to completely help Gabita, Otilia agreed to the doctor's request. Afterwards, she began to think about her relationship with her boyfriend, and made a hypothesis: what would her boyfriend's attitude be if she became pregnant unexpectedly? The title of the film, "Three Weeks and Two Days in April", is the total length of time Gabita took from pregnancy to abortion.
