“When I was first introduced to the project, I was immediately drawn to the universe of the series. The North Coast’s attractive and aesthetic world provides a beautiful backdrop for a story about social class. Beneath the polished surface, secrets and conflicts are simmering. I was curious to explore what happens when the facade begins to crack – and the human truths emerge.”

Synopsis
When the young Filipino au pair Ruby disappears from one of Denmark’s most affluent neighborhoods north of Copenhagen, the neighbor, Cecilie, becomes convinced that something has happened to her. Cecilie’s au pair, Angel, begins to investigate the rumors circulating, while suspicions of a crime grow. However, the case of the missing foreigner is a low priority for the police, and the newly minted investigator Aicha needs all the assistance she can get. Cecilie and Angel are ready to help, and gradually the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to expose. Yet, Cecilie’s commitment to uncovering the truth is put to the test when Ruby’s disappearance reveals connections reaching into Cecilie’s own family. She is forced to confront her blind spots and view her family and the environment in which she is raising her children in a whole new light.

“I enjoy experimenting with the genre because it requires the audience’s full attention, and placing a crime story in this particular setting is especially compelling. What happens when care and intimacy within the home are outsourced to an au pair? What does that stir in us – and in those closest to us? Does it reveal the best in us, or the worst?”
Ingeborg Topsøe, creator
The series is produced by Uma Film, and the lead cast includes Marie Bach Hansen (The Legacy),Danica Curcic (The Chestnut Man), Simon Sears (Shadow and Bone),Lars Ranthe (Another Round),Sara Fanta Traore (Empire),with Excel Busano and Donna Levkovski making their screen debuts.
