Insomnia
No peace for the wicked
Directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg
Produced by Norsk Film, Nordic Screen Production AS
A tense Nordic noir about a detective's moral collapse under the weight of guilt and sleeplessness, where the midnight sun becomes both setting and psychological torment.
Detectives Jonas and Erik are called to the midnight sun country of northern Norway to investigate a recent homicide, but their plan to arrest the killer goes awry, and Jonas mistakenly shoots Erik. The suspect escapes, and a frightened Jonas pins Erik's death on the fugitive. Jonas continues to pursue the killer as he seeks to protect himself; however, his mounting guilt and the omnipresent sun plague him with an insomnia that affects his sanity.
