ACHT

A quiet, somber procedural that lingers on grief and routine, with a slow-building unease beneath the surface.

Overview: A single long-range shot shatters the quiet of a country morning, leaving a beloved doctor dead on the steps of his family home. In the aftermath, a grieving widow and her withdrawn son cling desperately to the safety of routine. Meanwhile, a weary detective – mid-divorce and living out of a suitcase – is called to investigate, joined by a young colleague still reeling from a recent trauma.
