LatestThe Sõpruse bridge connecting Russia and Estonia suddenly plunges into darkness. When the lights come back, in the middle of the bridge, on the borderline, a body is discovered. A joint Russian-Estonian investigation is appointed. Russian investigator Maxim Kazantsev and Estonian inspector Inga Veermaa will investigate a chain of crimes that are well prepared, masterly executed and contain “messages” on the topic of social injustice.
Acting
Dapkūnaitė and Porechenkov's brittle, reluctant partnership.
Production
The bridge itself — a character, a wound, a metaphor.
Writing
Cold case structure with genuinely surprising ideological depth.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Sõpruse bridge (Friendship Bridge) was built in Soviet 1955 as propaganda — this series weaponizes that irony.
Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė, Lithuanian acting royalty, reportedly learned Estonian phonetically for this role — her accent becomes an unspoken character beat about displacement.
