"Fjord," the new drama by Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or top prize on Saturday.
It is the second time Mungiu has won the prize, after 2007's "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days."
The drama starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve is centred around the clash of values that ensues when a religious family relocates from Romania to a Norwegian village.
