Top of the Lake



Jane Campion & Garth Davis : 2012

A twelve-year-old girl, five months pregnant, stands chest deep in the freezing waters of a lake. Tui Mitcham, the daughter of a local drug lord, refuses to reveal the identity of her child's father and tries to drown herself. Robin Griffin, a tenacious detective specialising in juveniles, is brought in to investigate the case. But when Tui suddenly disappears, Robin embarks on a search that forces her to dissect not only the tangled drama of Lake Top's town folk, but also her own convoluted past. She will find this the case that tests her to her limits and sends her on a journey of self-discovery. In the search for Tui she will first have to find herself. Set in remote, mountainous New Zealand, this powerful and haunting mystery mini-series premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2013.
