A film about faith - and the lack of it
A Conspiracy of Faith is directed by Norwegain Hans Petter Moland, and the film centers around one of the central themes in life:

"A Conspiracy of Faith is about faith – and the lack of faith. It is a story about colleagues that have never talked about their private opinions on religion and life perspectives. Suddenly, their private opinions become important in the investigation" says Hans Petter Moland and continues;

"The film moves between religious and economic classes. It becomes an arena for the meeting between people living parallel realities in a modern European society.
About a very religious and new lower class in the outskirts of Denmark, ignored and neglected by the remaining society".

The screen adaption of The Keeper of Lost Causes and The Absent One became huge cinema successes in Denmark. The Keeper of Lost Causes sold 724.000 tickets and The Absent One 768.000 tickets. Both films were the most watched cinema films in Denmark in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The story
The siblings Samuel and Magdalena that have grown up in a religious congregation in Denmark suddenly disappear. At the same time an 8 year old message in a bottle appears at Københavns Politigård revealing a cry for help from an imprisoned boy.

Carl Mørck and his assistant Assad from Department Q quickly realize that there is a connection between the two cases. They manage to find their way to the religious society and follows a lead to a man with a yearlong trail of kidnapping and murders.

Murders that never have been reported, since he allegedly kidnaps two children from very religious families, kills one of the children and hereafter demand silence and a large ransom for the other child.

The time is short and in the hunt to find the children before it is too late Carl Mørck realizes that faith is closely linked to life and death.

Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares and Johanne Louise Schmidt are once again found among the cast as respectively Carl Mørck, Assad and Rose.

Jacob Lohman (Kapgang, Forbrydelsen, Klumpfisken, Norskov) and Amanda Collin (Ækte vare, For det fælles bedste) plays the parents, Elias and Rakel, to the children who have disappeared without a trace.
