Here's a description of The Girl by the Lake from the PIFF website:
| QUOTE |
| Norwegian crime fiction author Karin Fossum's popular and award-winning Inspector Konrad Sejer mystery Don't Look Back is adapted to modern Italy in Andrea Molaioli's debut feature. Set in a small Italian town, Inspector Giovanni Sanzio is brought in to solve a series of murders that began with a six-year-old girl. While investigating, Sanzio stumbles into a complex web of family ties and village allegiances that muddy the waters of his inquiry, in addition to Sanzio's own personal pain. But the film's focus isn't purely on police procedure. As Molaioli says, it's about known conflicts, "fathers who out of too much love can no longer analyze their children's souls, adolescents who feel they have been born into the wrong family... children who aren't comprehended by their parents. All this humanity... suddenly appears deviated, complicated. It is a crime, that lifts this lid and overturns this scene of absolute 'mediocrity'". |
