This movie is led by its dialogue, which comes via 112 Emergency Services calls. The main dispatcher is a man named Asger Holm, who’s on the job temporarily in lieu of his regular gig as a police officer.

The reason for his reassignment is what drives the story’s underlying subplot; he’s apparently on trial for unjustly killing a boy in the line of duty; but the main plot is about a woman who’s been abducted.

We just hear voices; it never leaves the perspective of Holm; but that’s what keeps it suspenseful. Just when you’re ready to convict, there’s a twist. Lesson? Never reach a verdict before you know all the facts.
