An isolated village in Norway sees its peaceful veneer upset by the arrival of a new family in Fjord, the Palme d'Or-winning film released in French cinemas this week. Inspired by real-life cases, Romanian director Cristian Mungiu explores questions of domestic violence, religion, culture and tolerance through a story that asks whose version of the truth can be trusted.
The story follows the Gheorghiu family, who settle in a remote Norwegian fjord after arriving from Romania, where the father, played by Sebastian Stan, has found work as an IT technician.
