Birger Larsen : 2013
The killer never lies alone
Puck has been invited by her tutor at the university to celebrate midsummer at his secluded cottage on an island together with a group of friends, among them Einar Bure. Puck and Einar are having a secret relationship, and he is the reason she says yes to the invitation. The summer nights are seductively beautiful and erotic tensions are rampant between the guests. Having been out on a romantic spree with Einar, Puck finds one of the female guests murdered. Einar contacts his friend Detective Inspector Christer Wijk, but upon Christer's arrival, the dead body has disappeared. Contact with the outside world is broken entirely when the island's only boat goes missing. All now find themselves trapped on the island and one amongst them is a murderer. Perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of 1950s Sweden, the film is adapted from the first of the classic detective novels by Dagmar Lange.
