Dead City

They all disappeared without a trace. A dark secret remains and the past is not to be revealed...

In the fifties, a report went around Sweden about the mining town of Silvertjärn, from which one day all the inhabitants disappeared without a trace. The authorities could find no explanation for this and the abandoned Silvertjärn was left to its fate and decay.

During her childhood, young documentary filmmaker Alice listened to her grandmother's stories about her hometown, from which all the inhabitants, including her family, had inexplicably disappeared, and this mystery has always fascinated her. So now she has put together a group of friends to try to find out and record what really happened that day.

In the suspenseful story of the rising star of the Swedish thriller, two time planes intertwine. We follow the present through the eyes of a film crew that comes to Silvertjärn for the first time in sixty years. But it soon becomes apparent that they are probably not entirely alone. Meanwhile, in the past, Alice's great-grandmother Elsa unravels the shocking true events that led to the town's demise.
