Direct from the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or, Fjord is a spellbinding drama of building tension starring acclaimed actors Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) and Sebastian Stan (A Different Man).

The Gheorghius, a devout Christian Romanian Norwegian couple (played by Reinsve and Stan), move to a village set in a remote fjord. They quickly become close to their neighbours, the Halbergs, and their children soon bond despite their different education and upbringing.

But, 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 receive from their parents might have anything to do with it.

Written and directed by Cristian Mungiu in his seventh feature and his first film in a foreign language, and shot on the picturesque western coast of Norway, from Ålesund to Stranda, Fjord is a must-see, intricate drama that explores the differences in values of 'progressive’ and 'traditional' views, and the increasing polarisation of society.

"Everything is happening at all times in “Fjord,” as befits a film sharply attuned to the world’s ever-expanding possibilities for movement, misunderstanding and conflict." - Variety

WINNER - Palme d'Or, FIPRESCI Prize, Cannes Film Festival 2026
