Plots(1)
THE ABSENT ONE reunites Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Fares Fares and tells the story of two young twins who are found brutally murdered in a summer cottage in 1994. A number of clues point in the direction of a group of young upper class students from a nearby boarding school, but the case is closed as a local outsider pleads guilty and is convicted for the murders. (Nordisk Film Den.)
