About the film
Fjord is a 2026 legal thriller drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Cristian Mungiu. The film stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve as a Romanian-Norwegian conservative couple facing scrutiny after moving to the wife's progressive remote Norwegian hometown. It is inspired by the true story of the Bodnariu family (renamed Gheorghiu in the film) whose children were forcefully taken from them by the authorities in Norway. The film premiered in the main competition of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival on 18 May, where it received a 12-minute standing ovation and won the Palme d'Or, François Chalais Prize, FIPRESCI Prize, Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, and Prix de la Citoyenneté. It received critical acclaim, with particular praise for its performances and screenplay, and was released theatrically in Romania on 13 June 2026.
