THE SPEECHLESS GOD (Stum sitter Guden)
Anna Jansson
Promo video (in Italian)
Police Officer Maria Wern and her colleagues don’t know how to deal with the cruelty facing them.
A similar murder had been committed in Uppsala nine years earlier. That time, the murderer had been killed in a car fire. Is it possible that some connection exists?
Thanks to Maria’s efforts and stubbornness, the picture of the murderer starts to emerge – a person disappointed and degraded to the point where reality gives way to insanity. But it’s a struggle in which Maria comes close to losing everything important to her.
