Overview: "In the far reaches of northern Norway, the fog and endless daylight start to get on the nerves of the investigator Jonas Engstrom (Stellan Skarsgard), who has been sent to look into the killing of a beautiful young woman (Maria Mathiesen). Normally a hard case capable of taking care of himself, Engstrom finds developments working against him in ways he can't control. Mr. Skarsgard's performance as a man pushed to the breaking point gives the film its share of Hitchcockian undercurrents. (The New York Times)"
