Directed by Baltasar Kormakur 94 minutes Icelandic (English subtitles)
An elderly man is found murdered in his basement flat. Inspector Erlendur and his crew dont have much to go by in the investigation, but a photograph of a young girls grave gives them a lead. They discover that many years ago the victim was accused, though not convicted, of horrible crimes. Did the old mans past come back to haunt him? As Erlendur reopens this very cold case, he follows a trail of unusual forensic evidence, uncovering secrets that are much larger than the murder of one old man with clues knit into the genetic bloodline of an entire country. Just before the turn of the century the Icelandic Government supported the launch of a controversial new company, deCODE Genetics Inc. The company specialized in genetic research and the government granted them access to all medical files in their database. When director Kormakur read Arnaldur Indridasons novel for the first time, he was fascinated by the way in which the author dealt with these issues and found the main character, Erlendur, fascinating. The film is a multi-layered story, unfolding bit by bit. New Jersey premiere.
