TRANSPORT
A microchip is found in baby food at a daycare center, leading a young journalist to start investigating the incident and stumble upon the illicit horse trade in Europe. Meanwhile, a bank manager makes a mistake that could mean the end of her career. When she fails in her effort to cover it up, she falls prey to a much bigger scheme. A Finnish border control veterinarian has been missing for a year. Prior to his disappearance, the veterinarian had received substantial amounts of money from... somewhere. TRANSPORT follows several characters and tells the story of ordinary people under immense pressure.
Celebrating it’s world premiere at Series Mania in the International Competition, TRANSPORT is a eight-part crime drama, posing the philosophical question: what is the value of life? Not just human life, but the life of other creatures and animals too? TRANSPORT takes us to the world of money laundering and food fraud and seeks to find the moment in all of us, when our sense of justice and that of integrity is either celebrated or compromised.
