The indulgence of "two people", the pain of "two people".

The long silence between the two at the end imprinted this time of depression and sadness in the hearts of the audience.

In the social background of Romania at that time, Gabita's boyfriend abandoned his pregnant girlfriend, Gabita's timid character had to ask his roommate Otilia to secretly help with abortion, and the girls' poverty could only satisfy the desires of wild doctors by selling their bodies.

Otilia was looking for the trash can with the stillborn, the shaky footage, the dim yellow lights, the pitch black tar, and the sudden barking of a dog.

This film takes Otilia as the protagonist, and uses long shots to record Otilia's words and deeds. The bricks of the toilet in the background of the poster. For me, the different blue and white gradients are the changes of the girl Otilia's mood. The unknown white turns into melancholy. Blue (this is the director's tenderness), but behind it reflects the tragic fate of abortion girls in the society at that time.

To this day, I still think of a girl I knew who had two abortions because of her boyfriend's sexual desire and her connivance. They are still together, but no one can do anything about the pain in the girl's heart. To feel the same.

The indulgence of "two people" is also the pain of "two people".
