“Co-starring Renate Reinsve, the film marks Stan's first role in Romanian.”

Wikipedia and web search results confirm Renate Reinsve co-stars in 'Fjord'. While the evidence confirms Sebastian Stan is Romanian-born and the film is a Romanian production directed by Mungiu, the specific detail about it being his 'first role in Romanian' is strongly implied by the context of the film's production and his background, though the provided snippets focus more on the casting.
