FJORD

The Gheorghius, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple, resettle in a village set in a distant fjord where they become close to their neighbors, the Halbergs. Their children bond despite their different education. When adolescent Elia Gheorghiu shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community asks itself if the traditional education that the Gheorghiu children get from their parents would have anything to do with it.

“Fjord traces the most delicate, most pliable dynamics of modern democracy, in a tale designed as much to infuriate as to engender difficult introspection.” – Observer

“Our uncertainty is only fed by the immaculate restraint and simmering intensity of Stan’s and Reinsve’s performances, from which every hint of movie-star glamour has been methodically purged.” – The New Yorker
