The Scandinavian House in Prague is featuring a Norwegian film A Cry in the Woods on 9th September in the OKO Cinema. The thriller from 2004 tells a story about the detective Karsten Skov investigating a mysterious murder and a bank robbery.
An elderly woman is brutally murdered. A notorious mental patient, the madman Erkki, is on the loose. All evidence points to Erkki as the murderer. Simultaneously, the local bank is robbed, and the quiet provincial town is suddenly yanked out of its beauty sleep. The investigator Karsten is himself burdened by a great personal guilt, which he has problems handling, both privately and professionally.
He is dragged into this murder case on a personal level, in a case which will affect him much more than he would have ever expected.
