Trailer Released for Palme d'Or Winner 'Fjord' Starring Stan and Reinsve

Neon has released the first official trailer for "Fjord," the new drama from acclaimed Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu, which won the Palme d'Or at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. The film, starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on October 9, 2026.

The trailer introduces the Gheorghiu family, who relocate from Bucharest to a remote Norwegian coastal village. Stan portrays Mihai Gheorghiu, a devout Romanian man, while Reinsve plays his Norwegian wife, Lisbet. The couple moves with their five children to Lisbet's hometown, where their conservative religious beliefs and strict approach to raising their children quickly create tension within the secular community.

The central conflict emerges when teachers notice unexplained bruises on one of the children, prompting an investigation by Norwegian child protection services. According to the film's synopsis, the family is forced to confront a system of judgment that blurs the line between concern and prejudice. The narrative draws inspiration from real-life child welfare cases in Norway, including the highly publicized case of a Romanian-Norwegian family whose children were taken into state care.
