“When does protection become control?”

Mihai Gheorghiu (Sebastian Stan) and his wife Lisbet (Renate Reinsve) have moved from Romania to her remote Norwegian hometown, where they want to raise their children according to their strict religious beliefs. The local authorities grow suspicious of their parenting and eventually remove the children from their care. Mungiu closes on a single image: the empty rooms where the family once lived, the silence of what remains.
