Filmmaker Christoffer Boe reinvents the television cult drama Rejseholdet for cinema – by going back to the squad’s origins in interwar Denmark. On 23rd August 1927, the Rigspolitiets Rejsehold was established with the ambitious police officer Otto Himmelstrup leading the newly formed Special Unit. The Unit is tasked with assisting local police in solving particularly complex crimes. When a body is found in a burnt-out summer house in Esbjerg, Otto and his team begin to unravel an unusual murder mystery, revealing power struggles and corruption among the city’s elite. The closer the unit gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.
