Following the deaths of Mihai’s parents, Mihai and Lisbeth Gheorghiu leave their life behind in Romania and move with their children to a remote village in Norway, hoping to rebuild their lives near Lisbeth’s family. There, they grow close to their neighbors, the Halbergs, whose warmth gives them hope for a fresh start. But the fragile peace begins to unravel when the Gheorghiu family’s young daughter, Elia, arrives at school covered in bruises.

“Few films provide as much to think about, to argue about, to be impassioned about. Fjord is breathtaking cinema in more ways than one, both urgent filmmaking and a profound comment on our times.” —Wall Street Journal

“The slippery pendulum swing between freedom and protection is a constant political battle, but Mungiu is interested in the human reality of that, not theoretical questions. In Fjord, the answers are out of reach, but the questions that Mungiu poses couldn’t be more relevant.” —Chicago Tribune
