Tough chief detective Carl Morck heads up the newly established Department Q - a place where cold cases go to die. Under explicit orders to only read and sort through cases, Carl’s stubborn nature throws him head-first into the mysterious case of a female politician who vanished five years earlier. Together with fellow Department Q detective, Assad, Morck reopens the case - and it's not nearly as cold as it appears to be. 2013 Zentropa Entertainments20 APS, Zentropa Entertainments Berlin GMBH.
