Shocking discoveries in Latvia

An exciting addition to the current media library is the Swedish film “Commissioner Wallander: Dogs of Riga”. In this gripping story, two bodies are discovered in a dinghy on the Swedish coast. The victims are apparently Latvian drug couriers, prompting the Ystad police to involve an officer from Riga in the investigation. Officer Karlis Liepa, played by Søren Malling, identifies the dead as former informants and is deeply affected by their fate.

His personal trauma deepens when he feels responsible for her murder. As the events progress, the main character Wallander, played by Kenneth Branagh, is also confronted with his own emotional challenges. He is single again after a failed relationship and recognizes a soul mate in Karlis. The story becomes tragic when Karlis is murdered after his return to Riga, which prompts Wallander to spontaneously travel to Latvia to pay his last respects.

During his stay, Wallander notices that his Latvian colleagues' interest in the investigation files on Karlis' last case is beyond normal. This increased curiosity raises his suspicions and he feels like something is wrong. These complex emotional complications and investigations make Esther May Campbell's film a gripping thriller-drama.

The film's cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Sarah Smart, Richard McCabe, Barnaby Kay and Mark Hadfield. The valuable story is based on the book by Peter Harness and is a captivating mix of crime and psychological depth.
