Plots(1)
After leaving home 10 years ago, Detective Lauri Raiha is sent to investigate the murders of two men in the small northern Finnish town where he grew up. The investigation offers a way to escape couples’ therapy and his failing relationship with his husband. But going home forces him to face his family and the deeply religious Laestadian community that rejected him many years previously. Together with his partner, Sanna Tervo, a carefree soul on the surface, but also someone who has their own difficult past, Lauri seeks answers to the case only to discover other truths about himself, his home town, and whether one has the power to forgive all sins.

What a disappointment. And I had such high hopes for the Finnish filmmakers, especially since they cast their elite hurler in the lead role. The script offered a main plot on which a decent story could have been built. Instead, various subplots started taking over, the investigation was slow, the story was getting more and more boring, and I was just looking forward to it being over. The only positive thing left is a confirmation of what I have been thinking for a long time, namely that every religion got stuck somewhere in the Middle Ages.
