In August 2017, Swedish freelance journalist Kim Wall boarded businessman Peter Madsen's submarine to interview him. She never made it back to the mainland alive. Well-known Danish screenwriter and director Tobias Lindholm examined the infamous "submarine case" from the perspective of detective Jens Møller. In the form of a feature-length miniseries, Lindholm captured Møller's investigation to make a more general statement about the social and judicial system we live in.
