The Man from Majorca 1984

Overview

The Man from Majorca is a thriller and crime film released in 1984 that was directed by Bo Widerberg and features a cast including Sven Wollter, Tomas von Brömssen, Håkan Serner, and Ernst Günther. Set in Stockholm, the story begins on St. Lucy's feast day, also known as December 13, when a bandit daringly robs a crowded post office. Within a fortnight following the crime, two witnesses are found dead. Two vice squad cops named Johansson and Jarnebring are the first to arrive at the scene and subsequently pursue all available leads. They ultimately identify a suspect who is an arrogant member of the elite secret police assigned to guard the country's Minister of Justice. Just as the officers believe they are tightening the noose around the suspect, loose ends begin to appear, witnesses lose their certainty, alibis arise, and even the cops start to doubt what they originally witnessed, raising the question of who is protecting the suspect and why.
