While covering the annual Nobel Banquet for tabloid Kvällspressen, crime reporter Annika Bengtzon witnesses a spectacular murder right in front of her. Two people are shot, one of them the controversial Laureate in Medicine, Aaron Wiesel. Annika is the key witness and is bound by the police not to disclose anything she has seen. A terrorist group with connections to the Middle East quickly admits responsibility for the murder. Annika however becomes increasingly convinced that the real target of the attack is Wiesels dancing partner Caroline von Behring, Chairman of the Nobel Committee. Annikas journalistic investigation leads her closer and closer to the inner workings and power struggle within the closed and secretive circle of the Nobel Committee. As she gets closer to the truth, the situation becomes increasingly dangerous. (official distributor synopsis)

Artificial, boring, bland and conveying nothing at all. I was hoping for a quality Scandinavian drama/thriller/crime movie and I got so terribly bored that I thought I would kick my TV screen out of sheer desperation. I guess I should be glad that it was made into a TV series so that I wouldn’t have to waste long hours reading what are probably even more boring books.
