The Absent One



Mikkel Nørgaard : 2014
Fasandræberne

In 1994 two young twins are found brutally murdered in a summer cottage. A number of clues point in the direction of a group of young upper-class students from a nearby boarding school, but the case is closed as a local outsider pleads guilty and is convicted for the murders. When the case ends up on the desk of Carl Mørck of Copenhagen Police's Department Q, twenty years later, he soon realises that something is terribly wrong. As Mørck and Assad start investigating the case, they are led on to an old emergency call from a desperate girl who seems to know the secrets of the murders. Soon they are plunged into an intense search for the girl, Kimmie, who has been missing since the murders happened. But Mørck and Assad are not the only ones trying to track her down as the girl's testimonial is of great danger to a group of influential men at the top of society who will do all they can to keep her silent. Mikkel Nørgaard's feature, the second Department Q thriller, premiered at Fantastic Fest 2014.
