Terribly Happy

As punishment for some mysterious behavior unbecoming a police officer, Robert Hansen (Jakob Cedergren) gets temporarily transferred from his job in Copenhagen to a post as the new sheriff in a small town in South Jutland, a bleak and depressing bogland where the biggest problem seems to be keeping the locals from getting too drunk and sinking into the quagmire. Or at least that’s how it appears on the surface. The more time Hansen spends among them, the stranger the locals start to behave as they try to teach him the way things are done in their town. What was supposed to be a cushy assignment to pass the time until he’s ready to return to the big city soon turns into the toughest case the Copenhagen cop has ever been involved in.
