On 13 December (St Lucy's Day), a bandit daringly robs a crowded post office. Within a fortnight, two witnesses are dead. Vice cops Johansson and Jarnebring, the first to the scene of the crime, pursue all leads and identify a suspect, an arrogant member of the elite secret police, assigned to guard the country's Minister of Justice. Just as they think they've tightened the noose around the suspect, loose ends appear, witnesses lose certainty, alibis arise, and even the cops doubt what they've seen. Who's protecting the suspect and why?

Sweden officially balanced its foreign policy between the two great powers of the Cold War - USA and Soviet Union - in the same way as during WWII and described itself as neutral.

Beginning at Bohu's fortress, Hans Villius guides viewers through Norway, a country whose history has often coincided with ours. It is a story not only of the death of Charles XII and Carolines in a blizzard on their way to disaster, but also of the German battleship sunk in the Oslo Fjord and of radical Norway's struggle for independence from Sweden.
