Synopse
Socially critical neo-noir thriller with long-term effect. A woman’s body is found close to the Danish border and police analyst Gloria Acheampong (Thelma Buabeng) is called in. The murder is reminiscent of the deeds of the imprisoned serial killer Rudi Butscher (Nicholas Ofczarek). Is there a copycat killerat work? Gloria is not only confronted by the riddles of the case, but also racism and sexism that rain down on her from all sides and obstruct her investigation.
