Synopsis
Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple, move from Romania to Norway with their children to be closer to Lisbet’s family. They quickly bond with their neighbors, the Halbergs: Mats is the school principal while his wife Mia is a retired lawyer. Mats’ daughter, Noora, is a rebellious adolescent but the friendship with her new neighbors starts changing her. When adolescent Elia Gheorghiu shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community wonders if the strict, traditional education that the Gheorghiu children get would have anything to do with it.
As tensions grow, both families must confront their different views on family, freedom, and progress, raising a difficult question: Where does personal freedom end and society’s demand for conformity begin?
