Sebastian Stan is a bald, potentially bad dad in the trailer for Palme d'Or winner Fjord

In the latest film Fjord, directed by Cristian Mungiu, Sebastian Stan plays the domineering patriarch Mihai, who has undergone a dramatic transformation from his previous roles. Gone are the Trump wig and Bucky Barnes locks, replaced by a completely bald look. Mihai's arrival in a remote Norwegian coastal village is the result of his wife Lisbet's insistence, and this move brings together a family of seven.

However, Mihai's staunch Romanian beliefs clash with the local community's norms. His close friendship with a neighboring family catches the attention of the town, resulting in child endangerment allegations that put the family under scrutiny. Fjord, which won this year's Palme d'Or, is a testament to the filmmakers' skill, with Stan's compelling performance leading the charge. The film is set to release in the United States on October 9.
