In the Maw of the City

Norwegian title: I byens gap

Arne Svingen

Sebastian and Aksel are playing football in the backyard. An irritated father tells them to play somewhere else so they won’t wake his sleeping child. The boys have a bright idea: they decide to scare the father by moving the pram with the baby inside it out of the yard and onto the street. When they come back an hour later, they find the neighbourhood crawling with police.

In the Maw of the City is the story of two boys who get caught up in a deadly dangerous crime drama and try to solve the mystery for themselves.
