Thriller | Suspense
An ultra-gritty piece of contemporary Swedish noir, set in a
decrepit, highly atmospheric 1930s Stockholm that is a far
cry from the modern, egalitarian capital city of
today.
Stockholm, 1932. Harry Kvist is a
bisexual former boxer, scarred by both poverty and
alcoholism, now working as a debt collector. One night the
debtor Zetterberg is murdered, after one of Kvist's house
calls. Kvist becomes the main suspect, a perfect fall guy
complete with a sordid past and previous dealings with the
law. The only witness certain to get him acquitted is Sonja,
a prostitute, who has disappeared without trace.
In
an attempt to clear his name, he sets out on a hunt through
the poverty-stricken capital city, moving from brothels to
illegal gambling dens, from contraband warehouses to illicit
upper-class clubs, from shanty towns to luxury hotels. With
the help of his revolver and his powerful right-hook, Kvist
may just escape with his life...
