Neon has purchased distribution rights to Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord starring Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World).

The film follows the Gheorghiu family — Romanian father (Stan), Norwegian mother (Reinsve) — as they settle into new life in a remote Norwegian village, the mother’s birthplace. They quickly bond with the Halbergs, who live in the neighboring house near the bay, and, despite their very different upbringings, the children of both families soon become close friends. When the Gheorghius are suspected of disturbing behavior, their lives are thrown into chaos as they become the center of small-town scrutiny.

Goodfellas is handling worldwide sales on the film with Neon acquiring rights for the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand. Production on the film has wrapped in Norway.

Fjord is a Norway-Sweden-Denmark-Finland-France-Romania coproduction. It was produced by Mobra Films, Eye-Eye Pictures, Why Not Productions and Goodfellas, alongside Snowglobe, Aamu Film Company, Garage Film, FilmGate Films and Film i Vast (supported by Eurimages and Creative Europe Media).
