A very good Danish and Swedish thriller, which raises difficult questions about the right thing to do for the police and social services when they find a two-month old baby lying in its own excrements, because the father is a vicious, nasty thug who beats the terrified mother of their baby and addicts her to heroin. The main protagonist cannot get over the death of his own son of the same age and hardly copes with the mental instability of his wife. He experiences how far a parent would go to get a second chance. The story is well written and the filmmaker performs an interesting job with a convincing cast, in melancholic Scandinavian maritime landscapes.
