Svalan, katten, rosen, döden

Who is the murderer?

CrimeDramaThrillerMystery

Synopsis

Münster discovers the body of a young woman who has been strangled in her home and encounters the killer, who is still present at the scene. The killer escapes, but an unusual book is found at the scene, which is dedicated to the killer. When another victim is discovered, Van Veeteren's knowledge of literature proves crucial, as it becomes evident they are dealing with a serial killer who selects his victims based on the names of characters from 19th-century crime novels. The question remains: what will be the name of the next victim?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
