Smilla

Copenhagen. Winter. A child's bootprint in the snow. A building superintendent’s son plummets from a rooftop, but a Greenlandic expatriate fixates on anomalies at the scene. Dark secrets fester, reaching back to a mining operation in the far north. A procedural for people who prefer glaciers to Columbo.
