THE PURITY OF VENGEANCE

Dir. Christoffer Boe, 2018 | 119 minutes

When three mummified bodies are found in a sealed Copenhagen room, Department Q cold-case detectives Carl Mørck and Assad are assigned to investigate. When their leads point them to Sprogø Island and the women’s hospital that once operated there, they uncover a history of unnerving systematic abuse and experimental medicine. As they get closer to the truth, the pair must race against time to stop further violence from happening. With thrilling source material stylishly brought to life by director Christoffer Boe, The Purity of Vengeance is a gripping crime thriller that currently holds the title of highest-grossing Danish film ever.

English sub-titles.
