A lone traveller in the snow-blanketed Minnesota wilderness witnesses the kidnapping of a teenage girl. As the only witness and hours away from civilisation, she is the young girl’s only hope.

Emma Thompson stars in this Fargo-inflected thriller which received rave reviews as it toured the festival circuit earlier this year. Whilst set in Minnesota, the film was shot primarily in Germany and Koli, Finland. Thompson was so impressed by the work ethic of the Finnish crew that she published a letter thanking them in Finland’s largest newspaper.

An all-thrills, no-frills character study, Thompson portrays the central good-natured widow with effervescent charm. It’s director Brian Kirk’s follow-up to his highly underrated 2019 police procedural 21 Bridges which starred Chadwick Boseman.
