In the small mountain town of Avechot a teenage girl has disappeared, presumed kidnapped. Inspector Vogel, a famous police detective, is called in. A suspect is identified. The clues all point to him but Vogel doesn't have any evidence. However, Vogel is not above using the media to progress the legal process.

Great crime drama. Very intriguing and unpredictable from start to finish. Many twists and turns: just when you think you have it all worked out, the plot goes in a different direction. The time-jump and multiple perspectives plot development plus a wonderfully dark and foreboding atmosphere help the intrigue and general feel of the movie.

Some great themes too, especially media intrusiveness, how it interferes with the justice process and how it destroys people's lives. There's also a great greyness to the characters: nobody is clearly 'good' or 'bad', adding to the intrigue and unpredictability.

Nothing is revealed until the very end, though here is where the movie loses some of its lustre. Writer-director Donato Carrisi tries to throw in too many twists and possible outcomes, making the ending a bit confusing and not as perfect as it could have been.

Still a great movie though.
