An old man is found murdered in his basement flat. Inspector Erlendur and his crew don't have much to go by in the investigation, but a photograph of a young girl's grave gives them a lead. They discover that many years ago the victim was accused, though not convicted, of horrible crimes. Did the man's 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.

Terrifically acted and directed. The cinematography of the geography of Iceland is also outstanding. What a bleak landscape. I'm guessing that the suicide rate in Iceland would be very high. This movie isn't a recommendation for Icelandic cuisine either. Excellent movie, though.
