Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu, a Romanian-Norwegian Pentecostal couple, move with their five children from Romania to Norway after Mihai's parents die, seeking closeness to Lisbet's family, who share their faith. Settling in an isolated coastal village, they form a bond with their neighbors, the Halbergs. When their daughter Elia appears at school with bruises, suspicions arise about the family's strict religious upbringing. FJORD explores clashing worldviews, conformity, tolerance, and the boundaries of freedom and intimacy.
