Original title: Groenland, le pays qui n’était pas à vendre
Synopsis
“We will never, ever be a property anybody can buy.” – Jens-Frederik Nielsen, current Prime Minister of Greenland
“We are going to conquer Greenland one way or another.” – Donald Trump
Somewhere in Greenland, in the near future…
Frederik Karlsen, Greenland’s newly elected Prime Minister, is forced to auction off his country. As he has been taken hostage, while his wife and daughter have also been kidnapped and held separately, Karlsen must watch as the U.S.A., China, Russia and Denmark enter a frantic bidding race for the island-continent and its priceless riches. From a remote cabin where he’s being held, Karlsen nevertheless manages to send coded messages.
In the capital city of Nuuk, Inuit police chief Apputiku Kalakek and Else Adriensen, daughter of the legendary Qaanaaq, race to decipher the clues and stop the unprecedented sale before it’s too late. As political manipulation, buried secrets and international tensions escalate, Mo Malø delivers a gripping thriller in which the fate of an entire nation is played out in a few hours, its people ignored.
