Nordland '99

The plot begins as a lad (Alex) with either ADHD or on dope causes trouble then disappears. There is mysterious signalling from a car on a lonely road. Another boy has disappeared earlier. The main characters are two boys and a girl, with the father of one, the village policeman, widowed. Other characters appear, but the main action is trying to piece together where Alex is - common answer, 'He has just gone away.' The plot gets quite complex but the action and acting moves deliberately slowly; more realistic than "rushing about".

It is explained finally, but it would have been better to fill in just some of the movements to give a bit of direction - it would not have spoiled things. The ending is a bit "sugary" and might have been done differently.

The last touch suggests a sequel.
