Based on the global best-seller by Hakan Nesser, Intrigo: Death of an Author is the first film in an anthology of three films portraying intimate portraits of crime linked by themes of murderous intents, exposed lies, buried secrets, revenge, atonement, and pasts coming back to haunt those who thought they had escaped them, all set against the stunning European backdrop of Maardam.
In Death of an Author, after an author named David (Benno Fürmann) plots the seemingly accidental murder of his wife, her body is never recovered, and he’s convinced that she’s still alive. Meanwhile, as David translates the final novel by a writer who also died mysteriously, he finds himself attracted to the man’s sultry widow. Fact or fiction, life or death… in this tale, nothing is certain.
