Kraken: recap, ending and discussion. Major spoilers.
Open the recap & discussion — spoilers
Inspector Johanne investigates a Norwegian fish farm and encounters a creature tied to the damage beneath the water.
The beginning
A video of salmon beaching at a fjord fish farm brings Johanne to inspect the site. Its parasite-control system was developed by Johanne and her former partner Erik.
The conflict
Maria, the owner’s daughter, wants the farm shut down. Strange deaths and enormous parasites suggest that something much larger lives below.
The turning point
The kraken attacks and sets the facility adrift. Several people die while Johanne, Erik and Maria struggle to survive on the farm.
A choice
Johanne and Erik turn the remaining equipment into a bomb. Johanne takes it into the water and is seized by the creature; the explosion kills both.
The ending
A year later Maria sails in a boat named for Johanne. An egg shown during the credits suggests the kraken was a mother protecting its young, adding another perspective to the encounter.
