A remo­te vil­la­ge on a Norwegian fjord: this is whe­re the deep­ly reli­gious Romanian-Norwegian Gheorghiu fami­ly ven­tures to make a fresh start. They quick­ly sett­le in, and the child­ren make fri­ends with tho­se of the neigh­bou­ring fami­ly. But when tea­chers dis­co­ver brui­ses on the eldest daugh­ter, the fami­ly comes under scru­ti­ny from the aut­ho­ri­ties. In a socie­ty whe­re the wel­fa­re of child­ren is the top prio­ri­ty, dif­fe­ring noti­ons of fami­ly, care and respon­si­bi­li­ty clash.

With Fjord, Cristian Mungiu has crea­ted an extra­or­di­na­ry dra­ma. Following his tri­umph at Cannes with 4 Monate, 3 Wochen und 2 Tage (2007), he has now won his second Palme d’Or. This ten­se and deep­ly human work about inte­gra­ti­on, trust and the invi­si­ble fault lines within a com­mu­ni­ty cap­ti­va­tes with its pre­cise direc­tion and out­stan­ding per­for­man­ces. The lead roles are play­ed by Oscar-nomi­na­ted actors Sebastian Stan (A Different Man, The Apprentice) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value, Backrooms).
