You might recognize Danica Curcic from The Mist series which was based on Stephen King’s book. She has a young daughter and an estranged husband, though they obviously still care deeply for one another.Īstrid is played perfectly by Danica Curcic who can do no wrong in my book. Of course, Astrid never managed to get over the mystery of her sister’s disappearance since no closure ever came.ĭespite still wondering about her sister’s disappearance, Astrid has managed to create the resemblance of a good life for herself. The three graduates that did not disappear are the best friends of Ida.

The main protagonist of Equinox is actually Astrid, who is the younger sister of Ida, who was one of the 21 graduates that disappeared. It’s the Danish hope for an Oscar in 2021 and is already winning awards everywhere it’s nominated.

Incidentally, you’ll see this exact same way of celebrating a graduation in the new Danish movie Another Round (2020) by Thomas Vinterberg, which stars Mads Mikkelsen. Basically, it’s no picnic to be one of the graduates that did not disappear on this fateful day.Ģ1 years later, in 2020, details surface that just might be able to make sense of what happened in 1999. Only three students remain and they are vilified and suspected of being responsible for their disappearance. While celebrating their graduation by driving around to visit the families of every graduate – as it’s the tradition in Denmark – 21 students suddenly disappear between two homes. Also, it is a very correct representation of 1999, which just happens to be the year when I graduated myself. While I always love anything with the 1980s, it does work really well to have the story begin in 1999 as well. However, for this Netflix adaptation, the story has been changed to begin in 1999. In the original podcast “Equinox 1985”, the mystery begins in 1985 (hence the title). Will the mystery of 1999 be solved in 2020?
