Irene Huss 6: Guldkalven

A man is found shot dead in the trunk of a car. Four fingers on one hand have been cut off. The man was a co-owner of an online poker company that quickly grew into a multi-million dollar business before going bankrupt. Shortly thereafter, another co-owner is found murdered. The third and final co-owner, Sanna, is still alive but lives under constant threat. The police eventually find three of the first victim's severed fingers, but where is the fourth finger? Who will the killer send the last finger to? And why were the fingers severed? The investigation leads Irene Huss into a world unknown to her, of expensive luxury cars and magnificent villas in exclusive locations, where Russian caviar is an everyday food and the champagne is genuine, expensive, and constantly flowing. On a personal level, Irene is convinced that her husband Krister is having an affair.

Directed by Alexander Moberg, Irene Huss 6: Guldkalven leans on a strong ensemble — Angela Kovács, Lars Brandeby, Reuben Sallmander — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2008.
