Crime Series - Wallander

This new detective series depicts the active life of Detective Kurt Wallander in the sea-side town of Ystad. The films are based on new stories from well-known detective author Henning Mankell.

Kurt, his daughter Linda – a recent recruit to the police department – and colleague Stefan struggle to solve cases involving everyone from Ystad's most upstanding citizens to the village idiot. But it's not all smooth sailing as father and daughter must first repair their own rocky relationship, while Linda and Stefan fight their own battle for professional approval.

Each film describes challenging cases that require the characters to rely on each other to not only find the truth, but survive. Kurt is a seasoned detective who relies on instinct and experience. He uses unconventional and sometimes illegal means to solve cases.
