Fjord
Directed by Cristian Mungiu
Produced by Mobra Films, Why Not Productions
A somber family drama that begins with hope for renewal but descends into the dark reality of child abuse and its legal and moral consequences within an immigrant community.
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.
