The film by Cristian Mungiu follows the young Romanian-Norwegian Gheorghiu family, portrayed by Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan, as they settle in a remote village by the Norwegian fjords to start a new life. Their warm reception by new neighbors is disrupted by an unexpected accusation that triggers an investigation and a trial. The story confronts traditional family values with the strict rules of the Norwegian child welfare agency, exploring cultural clashes, parental love, and the right to determine the fate of one's children. The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
