ABOUT THE PIECE: A child disappears in the thick fog of Öland. It is only twenty years later that a trace is found: the brown leather sandal that Jens was wearing on the day he disappeared has suddenly reappeared. It came by post, sender unknown. Julia, the mother of the missing boy, receives a call from her 78-year-old father. She is urgently asked to come to Öland and help him search for the boy. There has long been a rumor that the ominous Nils Kant was the child's murderer. But Nils Kant was long buried when the boy disappeared. Others believe that he is still wandering across the vast limestone plain of Öland. “Öland” is the first part of Johan Theorin’s Seasons Quartet about the Swedish Baltic Sea island of Öland.
