Conspiracy of Silence (2018)

After a three-decade-long absence, believed to be dead, Robert Kastell emerges from the shadows and returns to his Swedish homeland. His return, however, is far from a peaceful homecoming; it's spurred by a personal tragedy that has ignited a burning desire for revenge within him. His target? Anders Speths, the thriving arms trade broker who flourished amidst the dirty underbelly of the Swedish arms industry—an industry that Robert himself was once a vital cog in before he staged his death and vanished. Robert's return doesn't go unnoticed. Rolf Höglund, a conspiracy theorist and former journalist, becomes aware of Robert's presence. Rolf attempts to channel Robert's thirst for revenge into a broader cause—exposing the illegal deals and hypocrisy rampant in the Swedish arms industry. Robert, having firsthand experience of this murky world, knows there's truth in Rolf's words. Tragedy strikes when Rolf disappears without a trace, leaving behind his worried daughter, Åsa, guilt-ridden and regretful of the harsh words she last spoke to him. Her husband Mario dismisses Rolf's disappearance as just another fallout from his history with addiction, assuring Åsa that he'll be back. Parallelly, Anders Speths, even while aiding his daughter Johanna's recovery from a severe bout of mental illness, is offered a lucrative weapon deal. This deal, between the Indonesian state and the floundering Belgian/Swedish weapon manufacturer Sandersvik, could be the lifeline the company needs to pull itself out of the downward spiral it's been caught in. The threads of these lives are woven together in a tapestry of vengeance, conspiracy, and personal struggles. 'Conspiracy of Silence' is a captivating tale that delves into the murky depths of the arms industry and the personal vendettas that drive its characters towards an unpredictable destiny.
