The adaptation of Kerstin Ekman's classic about the mysterious murder of two tourists on a Swedish lake in the seventies shows, from a naturalist 'noir', that at the time there was not peace and love everywhere. The arrival to the town of the protagonist, Annie (Asta August), and her six-year-old daughter, Mia (Alva Adermark), is masterful in its powerful disregard for the mother and daughter's timid yet exciting search for happiness.
The crime is going to be solved because Annie, who has since slept with a rifle next to the pillow, believes that the guy she saw walking away from the store covered in blood could find her.
