🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic detective plot, relying on the atmosphere of Nordic noir and utilizing the familiar archetype of a private investigator. The narrative explores old wounds and the search for truth in a world where everyone has secrets.

What lingers after viewing is a gritty, engaging story with unexpected turns, where a murder investigation reveals deeper layers of personal and criminal intrigue. The journey through Finland's underworld is both compelling and somber. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lauri Törhönen
