Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
In this Danish comedy, motel-owner Ford Fordson (Bent Warburg) gets iced in the motel's freezer. Cops Rosenkrantz (Steen Rasmussen) and Gyldenstjerne (Michael Wikke) investigate, interviewing an assortment of relatives, eccentric employees, and other oddballs. As they attempt to solve the mystery, connections and clues echo Othello, Hamlet, and other Shakespearean plays. Shown at the 1998 Gothenburg Film Festival.
