Set in the tranquil countryside of southern Sweden, End of Summer tells the haunting story of one family still reeling from tragedy that struck decades ago. When young boy Billy vanished without a trace in the final days of a sweltering summer in 1984, it set in motion events that would forever alter the lives of loved ones left behind.

Now it’s 20 years later, and Billy’s older sister Vera remains gripped by the lingering shadow of that devastating loss. Living apart from her painful past, she pursues a career helping others process their own grief through group therapy sessions in Stockholm.

But ghosts from the past have a way of resurfacing, as viewers of Nordic noirs well know. And soon enough, subtle clues will draw Vera reluctantly back to the small town where it all began in search of long-denied closure.

False Trail

Stars: Peter Stormare, Rolf Lassgård, Annika Nordin, Kim Tjernström, Lo Kauppi, Jesper Barkselius | Written by Björn Carlström, Stefan Thunberg | Directed by Kjell Sundvall

We all know by now that Swedish mystery thrillers are popular, we?ve had Headhunters to name a movie, and of course The Killing as an example of the television presence. It seems nowadays all they have to do is advertise the fact that it?s a murder mystery based in Sweden and everyone just loves it. False Trail, also known as Jägarna 2, is another one of these, but also a sequel to Jägarna which I’?ve not seen yet. This does not hold False Trail back from being enjoyable, the important parts of the plot are all included in flashbacks and references in the plot.

False Trail starts in quite the usual way of a detective having to return to his home town...

Swedish director Kjell Sundvall returns to the big screen this December with False Trail (Jägarna 2), the follow-up to his 1996 crime-thriller, The Hunters (Jägarna).

Rolf Lassgård reprises his leading role from the original, alongside the great Peter Stormare, and with the film arriving on our shores next month, we’ve been given an exclusive set of images to share.

“Brought to you by the distributors of The Killing, Borgen and The Bridge, False Trail is the latest Nordic Noir thriller to hit the big screen in the UK. Set in an isolated town in the frozen wastelands of northern Sweden, False Trail is dark, twisted murder investigation that devastates a local community.

It’s been fifteen years since Erik (LASSGÅRD) was forced to leave the Norrland Police Department. Since then he has become the National Murder Commission’s best interrogator. When Erik’s boss orders him back to his home...
