Kennedy's Brain

In German with English Subtitles. Based on a novel by best-selling crime author Henning Mankell (Wallander, the Man from Beijing), this international thriller follows a mother's desperate quest to discover the truth. Globe-trotting archeologist Louise Cantor returns home to Sweden and finds her 27-year-old son Henrik dead in his apartment. The police are ready to write it off as a suicide but as an experienced archeologist, Louise is used to piecing together a full story from incomplete shards of evidence, and is convinced that he was murdered. Reconciling with her ex-husband Aron over the tragedy, the two embark on a dangerous search for answers. In Gothenburg, Louise learns Henrik had been working on an article about a major scandal in Africa. Traveling to Cape Town, Louise and Aron discover Henrik may have been leading a dangerous double life. In Mozambique, Louise meets Henrik's ex-girlfriend and makes contact with a Swedish diplomat who has useful information. Eventually, Louise's harrowing journey takes her to a clinic outside the capital and ultimately brings her face-to-face with her son's killers, who are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to keep their secrets safe from the outside world. Featuring Mikael Nyqvist (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), Rolf Lassgsrd (Wallander, Sebastian Bergman) and Bj°rn Floberg (Varg Veum), Kennedy's Brain is an action-packed drama of a mother's unrelenting quest for justice in the name of her son.
