A film about infidelity, about family, love and hate, told by the police investigator to his daughter as if it were a sub-weapon but we see that it is actually the only plot we have, it could be dispensable and the script went directly.
In this Danish novel we have a great plot of infidelity and betrayal by husband Christian ( Dar Salim ) we first feel an aversion to him for destroying his marriage for his desire with his employee who keeps an affair, then we see his wife Leonora ( Sonja Richter ) a talented musician who gave up all her dreams for the family , in addition to the director showing us that the child's health problem has finally improved thanks to the current, financial and stabilized condition of the family .
Gradually the director is showing us the real face, Leonora, just as not even her own husband knew, has a past with homicide for pushing a teenage boyfriend from the cliff who stayed with another, so we see him as an obsessive woman, cunning and dangerous that will do anything to keep your love. And this discovery by Christian ends up being a bargaining chip the complicity of the financial coup case that Christian carried out years ago in order to pay for surgery for the couple's son in the USA and that Leonora will take the case to the police if he decides to stay with his mistress. This is a decision that leonora imposes on him, stay with her, son, house and car or her lover.
In a great plot twist ( same scene as at the beginning of the film that puts us as a spoiler, we already know that Christian intentionally runs over his wife ) we reach the 3rd act , and we found out that he wrongly killed another woman, who wore similar clothes. Even though he knew that his decision was for his love and not for marriage, things are reversed, and Leonora knowing the truth forces Christian to kill his lover ( because with her he always lives his life will be in danger ) what she ends up doing, because his love was greater, both hide their bodies at the stake of the Danish tradition that indicates the entrance to summer and formerly burned witches , but the truth we know that the witch is the one who stayed alive with her husband in her hand for everything she knows about him, couple of murderers and accomplices in each other's dirt with their beautiful marriage of appearances.
With medium main performance, great performance by sonja richter, great adapted script, great photography and taking the sub plot in a good direction, we have good suspense entertainment.
