Them (Dom)

Cilla Naumann

Where does guilt start? How far does responsibility for the ones you love reach? Who did wrong?

 

The questions raise as the story unfolds about Sonja and Olof, a lawyer and a doctor. The night their son, a young promising researcher, is picked up by the police suspected for murder their life shatters, the ground open under their feet, and a claustrophobic night mare begins.

 

Them is a strong fascinating story about two people who has lived together in marriage for a long time but still turn out to be strangers to each other. This is also a story about a mother and a father who haven’t succeeded in what any parent wants to do– to know your own child.
