Denmark in 1927. The ambitious police officer Otto Himmelstrup leads the newly formed Special Unit, which is tasked with assisting local police in solving particularly difficult crimes. When a body is found in a burnt-out summer house in Esbjerg, Otto and his team begin to unravel an unusual murder mystery, revealing power struggles and corruption among the city’s elite. The closer the unit gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Soon, Otto finds himself not only battling powerful enemies but also confronting his own dark side in his quest to solve the case.

I actually didn’t thought I would care too much about going into it, but the movie grew on me. Even if it was somewhat weird with visuals and some plot and aspects didn’t make much sense. I would find my self actually liking it. It was much less linear than I thought for film of that genre.
