Based on the pioneering Martin Beck Nordic Noir crime novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, Beck is a highly successful Swedish crime drama film series. While Peter Haber (Beck, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) has long starred in the lead role as Martin Beck, the previous film and Beck – The Invisible Man shifts focus to his grandson, Vilhelm Beck (played by Valter Skarsgård) as a key member of the Beck group.

Synopsis

When Alex (Jennie Silfverhjelm) receives a report of a brutal murder, she decides to bring the suspended Vilhelm (Valter Skarsgård) along with her and Josef (Martin Wallström) to the crime scene. The victim appears to have connections to the digital university Howl, which explores how men fit into this new world. Martin Beck (Peter Haber), now working in another part of the police station, has reason to visit the department when the technical report from the murder matches a person they’ve been seeking in one of Martin’s investigations into the so-called ‘Balcony Man.

A great strength of Beck is that we reflect the times we live in. This film is about toxic masculinity and future films touch on themes such as manipulation from a position of power and taking the law into one’s own hands. Our audience can look forward to seeing the Beck Group do their utmost to solve these exciting cases.
