The Keeper of Lost Causes (2013, Denmark)
Original title: Kvinden i buret
While on stakeout, police detective Carl Morck decides to take a chance and enter the suspect’s house without waiting for the backup. His partner is shot and Morck has to take the heat for poor judgement and breaking the procedures. He is not sacked, but sent to the archive section, called Department Q, where he will be reviewing the cold cases. Troubled by guilt and demoted to a dead-end job, he quickly antagonizes the only employee of Department Q, Assad. Their job is to get through files of 2–3 cases a day to see if they will spot something missing from the original investigation and put them back on the shelf. But Morck sticks to one case, the disappearance of a successful politician, Merete Lynggaard, who vanished without a trace while travelling with her autistic brother on board of a ferry full of people. Against the demands of his superiors, Morck re-opens the case and travels to locations in hope of finding new evidence. He doesn’t know that Merete is actually still alive and kept in a captivity.
A Danish bestseller, by Mikkel Norgaard, turned into an intriguing film which shows the police investigation into the cold case of a young politician that some day simply disappeared. Well-developed characters, an interesting plot and layers after layers of mysteries behind it make this a quite unique production. The success of the first novel turned it into a series called Department Q and 4 feature films.
