What we flagged
View all categoriesOur take
A crime-fiction fan investigates a murder in a small Polish town. Affairs, vodka jokes and funeral gossip sit around the mystery, but the tone stays fairly light. We would start at US TV-14.
Uplifting themes
Curiosity and persistence uncover truths the town would rather leave buried. Caring for family still peeks through the gossip The stay-at-home sleuth keeps asking questions when others shrug. Partners and friends who listen quietly help more than the loud know-it-alls
Story (may spoil tone)
A stay-at-home mom and avid reader of crime stories discovers the deepest secrets of a small town's residents while investigating a woman's murder.

Talk after watching
- The heroine treats a real death like a puzzle from her novels. Where is the line between curiosity and respect for the grieving?
- Almost everyone in town seems to be hiding something. How do secrets between neighbours change what justice looks like?
