content
The policeman Stefan Lindman, who is suffering from cancer, wants to spend a vacation in Mallorca with his partner and her daughter when he learns of the murder of his former colleague Herbert Molin. The trip to Mallorca is immediately canceled and Lindman goes to Sveg , where Molin lived after his retirement. Although the police in Sveg are less than happy that Lindman is interfering in the investigation, he can win the trust of Chief Police Officer Giuseppe Larsson. Together they find out that Herbert Molin was not actually called Molin, but changed his name in the 1950s.
Meanwhile, Molin's daughter Veronika also comes to Sveg to avenge her father's death. Together they also discover that the strange traces of blood found in Molin's house correspond to a specific sequence of tango steps. This leads them to the dance teacher Elsa Berggren, with whom Lindman finds an SS uniform during an illegal house search. Therefore, he is not surprised when he comes across documents under the floor in Molin's house that prove Molin's connection to a right-wing radical association called "For Sweden's Well".
The Jew Fernando Hereira, who emigrated to Argentina, came across this connection, who, with the help of the violinist Andersson, was able to track down Molin, who had murdered his father. That's why Hereira killed Molin, which Lindman and the killers have learned from “For Sweden's Well”. For this reason Andersson is also murdered, and the police suspect Hereira for this murder as well. He wants to prove his innocence by finding the real murderers of Andersson. In the end sequence it turns out that Veronika is also part of the connection "For Sweden's Well". After an exchange of fire with Stefan Lindman, she was arrested and shot.
