Synopsis by Mark Deming

A little town is home to some big secrets in this thriller from Sweden. When Lisa (Regina Lund) receives word that her father has disappeared, she travels to the small village where she grew up, hoping to discover clues to his whereabouts. However, the residents of her old home town don't exactly welcome her with open arms, making it clear she should keep her big nose out of their business. With time, Lisa discovers some disturbing secrets about her father, as well as what is at the bottom of a hidden lake. Sjon/The Lake was a surprising commercial success in Sweden, where leading lady Regina Lund received favorable notices for her performance.
