Promise(Den grænseløse) is the latest installment in the Danish saga Department V Investigations, adapted from the best-selling novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Directed by Ole Christian Madsen, this crime thriller stars Ulrich Thomsen as detective Carl Morck, alongside Sofie Torp and Afshin Firouzi. The film explores a complex new case on the island of Bornholm, combining mystery, memory and sectarian aberrations.
Promesse will be available on VOD from June 4, 2025.
In Promesse, Carl Morck entrusts Rose with a delicate mission: to answer a call from a former colleague on the island of Bornholm. But once there, the Department V team discovers an old murder case still unsolved. The investigation takes them to the heart of a secret community, whose obscure practices and beliefs bring back buried memories.
Synopsis: Rose is sent to the island of Bornholm to investigate an old case. Joined by Carl and Assad, she uncovers a web of secrets linked to a forgotten murder and a mystical community.
The film is based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels, which have been translated into over 40 languages and sold millions of copies worldwide. This new installment retains the dark atmosphere and psychological tensions that characterize the Department V series, while developing Carl Morck's personal universe.
Promesse could appeal to fans of Scandinavian thrillers such as Millennium or The Killing(Forbrydelsen), thanks to its heavy atmosphere, foggy settings and methodical approach to the investigation. The trio of detectives, with their differences and complicity, anchor the story in a strong human dynamic.
Promise is an exciting new investigation in the Department V series, adapted from a Nordic bestseller. Directed by Ole Christian Madsen, this thriller blends suspense, psychological drama and spiritual mystery, against a backdrop of buried secrets and closed communities.
