Death of a Horse (6×52′), produced by Act4 for RÚV, is pitched as a classic crime story with an unusual twist: the victim is a horse. When Blesi is found dead after unexpectedly becoming a champion racehorse, the police refuse to investigate, leading Blesi’s owner to mount her own investigation. But the eccentric community of Icelandic horse farmers doesn’t want the scrutiny and soon lives are at stake – some of them human.
