Take a look in advance

Mihai Gheorghiu (Sebastian Stan), a Romanian, and his Norwegian wife Lisbet (Renate Reinsve) have moved from Romania to Norway with their five children to be closer to Lisbet’s parents. Mihai and Lisbet are deeply religious and raise their children in a family that is sometimes strict but undeniably loving. One day, at the children’s new school, a teacher responsible for student welfare notices a bruise on the eldest daughter’s shoulder.

Action is taken quickly, and before Mihai and Lisbet fully realize what is happening, their children—including their baby, who is still being breastfed—are placed with foster families. Their struggle to reunite their family is fraught with frustrating bureaucracy, raising the central question: Do you protect the rights of someone with whom you fundamentally disagree in a multicultural society? And if so, how?
