The Girl with the Balloon

Soon, the emergency switchboard receives a message from the woman. She has had a bad fall and needs help. When the emergency workers arrive, they find that she has been strangled to death and that a punctured balloon has been placed on her chest. Her dog is nowhere to be found.

Through her husband, NRK journalist Mette Minde obtains information about the case. The victim’s sister turns out to be a childhood friend of hers. When she starts to receive anonymous letters about the dead woman’s workplace, she feels a responsibility to look into the case herself. It turns out that the peaceful town is seething with concealed truths. Mette decides to defy her inner voice – and to open doors that no one wants her to open.
