A Bicycle found in a wheat field. A Missing Girl. Is history repeating itself? 23 years ago, a young girl named Pia was raped and murdered in this exact spot. Has the same thing happened now to 13-year-old Sinikka? Krischan, the retired police inspector who led the first investigation, is convinced that theres a connection between the two crimes. As the days go by, an unbearable heat sits over the towns modest homes like a bell jar. And behind the doors, once intact lives begin to fall apart. In this strikingly commanding feature, Baran bo Odar (UNDER THE SUN) confirms his status as one of the most promising and talented directors of today. his exceptional directing skills and distinctly cinematic language give this screen adaptation of a bestselling novel his unmistakable signature.
