     Klidně ať jsem za černou ovci. Pojďme si promluvit, dokud vůbec ještě můžeme, říká režisér filmu Fjord

     Oceňovaný režisér Cristian Mungiu v rozhovoru pro Český rozhlas vysvětluje, jak vznikl jeho film Fjord, proč stále věří v sílu zdravého rozumu a proč podle něj nejdeme jako společnost správným směrem. A mluví také o tom, jestli někdy vztáhl ruku na své vlastní děti. Sedmičlenná rumunsko-norská křesťanská rodina totiž v jeho novince čelí úřadům, které jim po přestěhování do Norska odeberou děti kvůli domácímu násilí.
