About CASE
“Case” is the latest drama from acclaimed director Baldvin Z (“Trapped”, “Life in a Fishbowl”). The psychological crime thriller, in the tradition of “The Killing” and “Broadchurch”, explores the impact a single tragedy has on the fragile bonds of a small community, and how quickly the mask of respectability can slip to reveal the true face of evil lurking behind it.
