In the documentary film Trustor, we follow the Guldbagge award-winning director Karin af Klinberg's hunt for the mythical Joachim Posener and the truth about the Trustor affair, one of the largest financial cases in Swedish history.

For the first time since 1997, Joachim Posener finally emerges from hiding and allows himself to be interviewed about his life and the Trustor affair. Twenty-seven years ago, he disappeared without a trace, and ever since, he has been on the international most wanted list. Now, Karin af Klintberg searches for him to find out how he lives and where he's been hiding all these years. But perhaps above all, to uncover what everyone is wondering: Was he guilty?

Through new and opposing testimonies from never-before-heard voices, Karin simultaneously continues the search for the truth about the coup. How could five people swindle 600 million and still go free? And where did the money actually go?

Karin af Klintberg, director: "It is a mans world with a unique gallery of characters in this documentary. A British lord, some party-loving guys pouring out champagne on the Riviera, a pale puppet master orchestrating in the background from the prison. Its men playing the system, a classic cops and robbers chase, and a financial industry that was cheated. Regardless of whether it was a genius or a clumsy coup, the thieves went home with a box of cash without wearing a mask or having fired a single shot. But there were also victims, that must not be forgotten."

Teresa Alld n, producer: "I have been trying to reach the mystery that is Posener my whole working life. As a filmmaker, you always want to hear the story straight from the horse's mouth. It would have been an anticlimax to produce a documentary about the Trustor affair without him, so we're very happy to be given the trust. That's all we will reveal for now."

Lisa, who now lives a sober family life with her daughter Elvira and boyfriend Anders, is set on doing the 200-mile-long bike ride, V tternrundan, with her brother Daniel. But when Daniels wife Klara says she wants a divorce, Daniel decides to do the race with her instead. Lisa, in turn, hesitates about buying a house and marrying Anders because she doesnt feel she is good enough. While Daniel and Klara try to patch up their relationship, Lisa starts flirting with an old ex. A winding journey awaits the couples - both figuratively and literally!

M rten Klingberg, screenwriter and director: "It feels great to be able to tell another story about these characters that are so close to my heart. Just like in the first film, humor will be mixed with seriousness, because thats how life is."

Katia Winter, lead actor: "I am very happy that we are doing a sequel to Off Track. Im looking forward to playing Lisa again and working with a stellar team. The first film was very appreciated by many, so it feels great to give the audience another one. It feels exciting that it will premiere on Netflix and reach a broad audience."
