In this film the focus is also on Wallander’s father, introduced in the third film of the first series, played effectively by David Warner. While the focus of attention goes onto the racist killers, ultimately the killers are foreigners so that the film leaves the audience with an uneasy feeling about judgments and prejudices. However, he combats this, especially when racist murders emerge and hate crimes as a result of the initial killings. In the meantime, Wallander’s daughter is dating a Syrian doctor which surfaces doubts and some prejudice in Wallander’s own character. In this film, the focus is on a brutal murder which is attributed to foreigners. The films are based on the novels by Henning Mankell.
