Friday, July 22, 2011, Norway was hit by two terrorist attacks.

A car bombing near the Parliament building

and a mass shooting at a summer camp on Utøya island.

The perpetrator was a 32-year-old Norwegian right-wing terrorist.

Utøya Island

I know it's impossible for you to really understand.

But try to listen to what I have to say.

Okay?

Yeah, but...I mean, that's why it's good that we're here.

Yeah, mom, I understand, but...

We're on an island. It's the safest place possible.

Just take it easy, okay? You don't need to worry.

Emilie?

No, I don't see her at the moment.

But I'll tell her, okay? I'll tell her you called.

Her battery is probably dead or something like that.

Yeah, that's probably all it is.

But...I'll pass word along.

Yeah. I'm on it. Okay.

Alright. I love you. Bye.

Hey. Have you heard anything more?

No. Got hold of the neighbor. She said she didn't think my parents were home.

Emilie?

Let me go!

Emilie?

We'll find out, okay? Just wait here, I'll be right back.

-Are you coming to the Great Hall? -Yeah, I'll be right there.

Did you not hear me calling your name?

-We went for a swim. -Yeah. I can see that.

Stop!

What's all this junk?

Having a party?

No. Emilie is just a careless pain in the ass.

-Give me a hand?

-Check this out. -Go on, help yourself.

I think I will.

-Petter! -What are these things?

-How was it? -Like old mashed potatoes.

-Want some? -No, I'm quite alright, thank you.

Are you headed down?

-Yes. But go ahead without me. -When are you coming?

Soon. I don't know. Just go.

We're just leaving clothes everywhere now, huh?

That's no problem, right?

-Hey! Stop! -You can't give me a second of your attention?

-Fine, I'll hang it up later. -That's not what I'm talking about.

People are in shock and you come back screaming and carrying on?

Ah, I see. Did I embarrass you?

No, but...

Emilie, it just - it doesn't look good.

I don't care how it looks.

...okay.

Sorry for having fun. I thought that was the point.

Do you not grasp what has happened today?

I went for a swim!

Emilie, Oda's mom works in the government district.

Okay. I didn't know.

Typical.

-What, and you're always so perfect?

I'm just saying that you've got to have a little consideration.

You got it, "mama."

And she called you a thousand times. Why aren't you answering?

Everything I do is wrong!

Emilie...

You nag me to get to know people, and then when I do it,

that's wrong too.

That's not what I said.

I wasn't even going to go. I went because you kept bugging me.

Emilie, it's not like that.

Please, c'mon.

Hey.

Can not you just go and play guitar or bring peace to the world or something?

Now you're just being childish.

I guess I'm childish. Excuse me.

Alright.

Sorry.

Come on then.

Please.

We're supposed to have dinner and stuff.

"And stuff."

Alright. Fuck it then.

That shirt is mine and you know it.

Hey you. Do you know the time?

Hello? Got the time?

-Ten after...5:10. -Damn.

Did I miss dinner?

Are you just waking up?

My phone woke me up.

Have you not heard the news?

-What news? -A bomb exploded in Oslo.

-Seriously? -They're not positive it was a bomb,

But there was an explosion in the government district.

-Is it terrorism or something? -Dunno.

Shit.

-They've got a TV on in the cafe'. -Wait, wait, hang on.

-Magnus. I'm new. Come yesterday. -Hi. Kaja.

-Good to meet you. -You too.

Hey, Magnus. Do you have any snus?

-Here you go. -Thanks.

See you later.

Do you know where we can use the internet?

There's bad coverage everywhere, but you can try the Great Hall.

-Okay. Can I charge there too? -Yeah, there are plugs there.

-Where is it, then? -Never been to the Hall before, huh?

Well, so it's...

-I mean, I've been in a hall before. -Just not a great one, right?

If you go straight it'll be on your left. Where everyone is hanging around.

-Okay. I'll head that way. -What?

I'll uh, I'll go later. After I've eaten something.

Yeah...yeah , okay.

She called. They were out of town when it happened.

That's great. C'mon, is that not amazing?

-Obviously. -Be happy then.

You don't look happy.

-Is that great or what? -Yeah, everything's alright.

I knew she probably wasn't there, but...

We're all just a little stressed today.

Kaja? I ordered two, but I'm suddenly not hungry. Do you want one?

You'll let me have yours?

Why can't I get a waffle?

-Should we go home after this? -No, no one should go home, Kristine.

It feels strange to be so far from everything.

Just take it easy. We're at camp. It's fun.

Kristine, you couldn't do anything at home anyway.

-Just enjoy yourself. -Don't let this ruin everything.

We're supposed to grill, eat, relax... And there's the disco.

Watch out for Issa. He's headed straight for the disco.

-What? It's all set up. -Seriously?

-It hasn't been cancelled. -You've all got to see me dance. I'm incredible.

I might, uh - I might put on a little show. Solo.

Solo. There's karaoke too. Petter, did you know there's karaoke?

-I'm allergic to singing. -Idiot!

-We're gonna sit there. -Yeah, see you.

I just hope it's not Muslims who have done it.

-No one's said anything about Muslims. -No, but if it was -

...it becomes hellish for the rest of us.

They're not certain it was terror. It may have been a gas explosion.

-They're not evacuating anyone. -A gas explosion in the government district?

-It's possible. -Bomb or gas explosion, it's awful.

It's totally crazy. It's like a nightmare.

-And you are...? -Magnus. From Stavanger AUF.

-Petter. -Hi. Caroline. We are from Oslo.

-Did you find the charging spot? -Yeah, it was pretty easy.

But the government district... It must be Al Qaeda or something.

Ah c'mon, that's enough of that.

None of us know anything. It's foolish to just guess.

You can't blame al-Qaeda for everything.

-He's only saying what everyone's thinking. -Not me, I'm not going there.

-Issa, no one here thinks that. -I'm talking about the people out there.

That's how it always is.

I did not mean that - I was just thinking about Afghanistan and all that.

What do you mean Afghanistan? That this is something to do with the war?

-Like Jonas talked about yesterday. -Which war?

-There is no war. -Kaja, we're at war.

It's not a war.

Our "peacekeeping forces" there are in battle all the time.

They contribute to security and stability.

Ah - security?

Anyway, this is a whole different conversation.

People in Afghanistan don't care what the Norwegian Prime Minister calls it.

-War is war. -I can't keep up anymore.

These two always go at it.

-We're not going at it. -But we are at war.

That's got nothing to do with this. I'm talking about what Issa said.

I'm not talking about Oslo anymore. I'm talking about Afghanistan.

-Issa, you know I'm right. -Stop.

-Don't drag me into this. -But it was you who said it.

Petter, seriously.

We can't debate? I thought that was why we were here.

Alright. Let it go.

What happened to the barbecue? Will there be sausage, or?

Are you still hungry? You had the waffle.

-But I want sausage. -You had a waffle!

Okay. Kaja...

Olive branch?

-Friendship waffle? From my heart. -I have two friendship waffles already!

No thanks.

-Snus then? -That stuff is foul!

I hate it. It smells so disgusting!

-Take it away! -Friendship snus.

You sure you don't want one?

Is that fireworks?

Those aren't fireworks.

-What was that? -What's going on?

What is it?

Kristine, relax. It's okay.

-This isn't funny. -Run!

-What is going on? -Run!

In! Go hide in there! Go! In!

-In, in, in! -Here, hide!

Close the door! Close the door!

-Hörni! Get inside! -Close the door!

-Run! -Quiet! Calm down!

Sit down!

-Caroline, what's happening? -Move in.

Move in! Go farther!

-Move farther! Go all the way. -Go in. Go in.

Come on.

No! No!

-Lock the door, goddammit! -You can't come in now!

Lock it! Lock it!

-What is going on? -Go all the way in!

I can't be here! I have to leave!

No, sit down!

Caroline, Emilie is in the tent. Can I go and find her?

No. You can't go out.

-Please. -No. Sit down.

-Sit down. -I must know where she is.

Be quiet.

Have you seen Emilie? Do you know where she is?

No.

Kaja! I want to go home!

Kristine, be quiet.

Be quiet.

-Do you know where the others went? -I don't know, I just ran.

Be quiet, be quiet.

-Emilie is in the tent. -What?

Emilie is in the tent.

Sit down!

Sit down!

Sit down.

-What the hell is going on? -I don't know.

-We're going to die in here! -Out!

Come on! Kristine, pull it together!

Don't leave me!

You have to run. I can't pull you!

Kristine, run! I'm telling you, I can't drag you!

You have to run, Kristine.

What the hell?!

What the fuck is that?

-I don't know what's happening. -Was that a shot? Are they shooting people?

It must be a drill. Teaching us to deal with panic or something.

If that's what it is, it's really bad. People are really hurt out there.

Has anyone seen Emilie? My sister? Have you seen my little sister?

Everyone just stepped on me.

I was in the tent and then everyone started screaming.

Were you at the campground? Did you see a girl with a yellow shirt and light hair?

Oh my God. Oh my God.

I need to find her.

The shots are coming from all directions.

There's nowhere to hide. They're everywhere.

It's possible that this is a drill. Stay alert.

-That's a gunshot. -Issa, it's okay. Quiet.

I've heard enough gunshots before. This...this isn't a drill.

Oh my God.

Is there someone who can call the police?

-I have to call my sister. -Can you call the police?

No, my sister.

Dial 1-1-2.

That boy who was lying there... what was with him?

Was he...? I mean...

Was he dead?

We don't know whether people are dead or not. Don't say that.

Police line is busy. Dammit! Why don't they answer?

My foot...I think it's broken.

Can you shut up? Enough with the fucking foot!

Emilie.

It's Kaja. Call me, okay?

Can you just call me?

She'll be fine. It will be alright.

Oh my God.

Come on, Emilie.

Emilie?

They're not answering?

Nothing. It's just the busy signal.

Then it's nothing serious. Otherwise they'd answer.

Has it stopped?

The island is too small. There are no hiding places.

Be quiet.

Hello...

Hello...

We are on Utøya. There's somebody shooting at us.

There's somebody shooting on Utøya.

No, I don't know.

Yes, there are people who are injured. People are injured.

No, not me, but we hear it. We hear it.

No, I haven't seen... I haven't seen anybody get shot.

Hi, it's Petter Ligård. Is there a drill happening on Utøya or not?

You're absolutely positive?

Okay thanks.

-What the hell? -They are on their way.

I talked to them. We should hide.

-You can't just take my phone. -I was just trying to help.

Turn off the phone. Put it on silent.

What if they call?

Did they say how long it would take?

They just said they're on their way.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Shut up! Be quiet.

This isn't a drill. We can't just lay here and wait to die.

Could you stop with the pessimism? What's your great idea?

Whatever we do, we can't just sit here.

You scaring people doesn't help anyone.

They said they were on their way and that we should hide.

So we stay here and wait. Okay?

What is going on? What is going on?

Hey, what's happening?

They're shooting everyone.

Ole... he just fell over.

Who's shooting?

-Who's shooting? -The police.

Wait, they're here?

It is the police shooting.

It is the police shooting.

The police?

Oh my God...

Why would the police be shooting?

Was it a lot of them? Was there a lot?

-Was there a lot? -I don't know. I think so.

Did you see anything else? Were there many people who have been shot?

-Yes...there are a lot. -Oh my God!

I'm not sitting here and waiting to be shot.

If it's the police who are shooting, we have no hope.

We have to get to the water. We have to swim.

No, it's too far.

It depends on where we swim.

It's no more than ten degrees in the water. You'd die in ten minutes.

-We can't just sit here. -A boat might pick us up, too.

-Who's in? -I'm coming with you.

-It's not so cold. Emilie went for a swim. -It's not the same thing.

I'm coming.

They said we should hide. At least we have a hiding place here.

You heard what he said. They will find us.

They will find us.

We have to get out of here.

They will find us if we stay.

-We have to get out of here. -Kaja?

Kaja, what do we do?

We have no choice, Petter. Understand?

Okay. Okay.

Okay, if you're going, I'm going too.

Okay, everyone. Next time you hear a shot -

- we run straight for the water as fast as we can. Okay?

Now we wait for the next shot. Okay?

Silent. Turn it off.

Turn off the sound.

Turn it off! You can't talk on the phone now!

Mama?

Oh my God...

Mama?

There's somebody shooting at us.

There's somebody shooting on Utøya. They're shooting at us.

I have no idea who it is.

Yes, we are hiding.

No, I'm not hurt. You can't hear it? There's somebody shooting at us.

Mom, I'm not hurt.

Emilie?

Mom, I can't talk right now. I have to hang up, okay?

Okay. Now! Come on, quickly!

Kaja, where are you? Kaja!

Hello?

Come on.

Come on.

Are you okay? Did something happen?

Come on.

-I'm waiting for Jonas. -Who is Jonas?

-Who is Jonas? -My brother.

What happened to your brother?

He told me to come here.

-Come on. You can't sit here. -My brother is coming here.

-To the tent? -He's coming.

-You have to run. -He told me to come here.

You can't just sit here. They'll see you from a distance.

You can't sit here. Do you hear me?

-But Jonas... -Jonas is not here now. Do you hear me?

Come on. You have to be careful. Come on.

What's your name? What's your name, to start with?

-Tobias. -Okay, Tobias. Listen now. Look at me.

-I'm gonna tell you what Jonas wants you to do. Okay?

-I don't know. -Jonas want you to hide.

Go now. Run into the woods. Can you do that? It's not far.

Can you do that? And take off your jacket.

You have to take off your jacket.

You have to hide. Can you do that?

-I don't want to. -Come on, you can do it. Come on.

Good. Run. Go.

You have to run, not walk. And take off your jacket.

Emilie?

Emilie?

Oh my God.

Mama...

Mama? Mom. Listen.

I can't find Emilie.

Do you hear it?

I can't find Emilie.

I don't know where she is.

I'm sorry.

No. She wasn't there.

No.

Mama...

Mama?

Mama? I'll find her. Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. But I'll find her.

Mom, I can't talk any more.

Don't call me. Don't call me, okay?

Mama...

I love you and I love Daddy. Okay?

I can't talk more.

I won't give up.

Help me.

Hey. C'mere. C'mere.

-Come on. -Don't move me - no.

Hey. I'll find someone to help you, okay?

-Please, you can't go. -I'll be back. I promise.

Hello?

Are you okay?

He shot me.

I ran and then he shot me.

Sit up.

Oh, Jesus.

What?

Nothing.

-Is it really bad? -No.

It'll be fine.

You're okay.

Can you lay down?

Think you can make it here a little bit?

No, please, don't go.

Please, don't go.

What if we die? What if we die today?

It's just the shoulder. You can't die from that.

I don't know, it really doesn't feel so good.

-They're coming now. They'll help you. -Have you talked to them?

-Yes, they are on the way. I promise. -Are you sure?

Yes. Okay?

Stay here for just a bit, okay?

Yes, where else would I go?

-It's so cold. -What?

-I'm freezing. -You're cold?

-If I die... -No.

No, you're not gonna die.

Can you tell my mom that I thought of her, that I love her?

You're not gonna die. You're going home.

I want my mom.

What's her name?

-Torill. -Is she home?

-She is at the cabin. -Where is the cabin?

-Austevoll. -Is that in Western Norway?

Is it nice there?

Near the sea? Yes, that's wonderful. So lovely.

Tell me a little more about Austevoll and what you do there.

Of...

Erik.

What? What did you say?

Are you still with me? Are you okay? Hello?

...comes...

What are you saying?

-...airport -Hey hey hey hey.

You can't go to sleep.

Hey. Who is Eric? Is that your brother? Who is Eric?

-Is that your boyfriend? -We...

You...yes? Go on.

-...go -What? Hey, come on.

Go on.

Hey. Hey.

Do you and Erik go to the cottage? Do you drive there together?

To Austevoll in Western Norway? You... Hey.

Smoke...

Smoke...

Hey. You.

Don't go to sleep.

You, do you hear me? Hey. Are you okay?

Hey. What's going on?

I want my mom.

I know.

Just hang on, and you're gonna go home to mom. Okay?

Can you hang on until then?

It'll be alright.

I think the bleeding has stopped.

That's good.

Hey. Are you okay?

Hey. You.

Hello?

Hey. You.

Hello? You.

Hello.

You...

Are you there?

No no no. Hey.

Hey.

Please.

No. Please. No.

Come on.

You.

You.

What's your name?

Come on!

Come on! I don't even know your name yet.

Come on.

Come on!

Kaja. Hi.

Hi. Are you okay?

Oh my God.

C'mon.

Kaja, I know her.

-Caroline, come on. -I know her.

We have to leave now.

That wasn't the police. They had cameras.

-Come back! -We can't stay here!

They can't just leave us here.

Why are they leaving?

There's no room here. There's no space for you.

-Hey. -There's no room.

-They'll see us. -Come here. Come here!

-There's no room.! -Of course there's room.

Shut up! Clearly there's room.

No.

You. Are you okay?

Are you hurt? Hey.

I just ran. Right there.

I ran like hell.

I don't even know how I got here.

Typical me. No idea why I'm here.

I just came to check on the girls.

I'll shut up now.

Why won't it stop? Why won't they help us?

Why are we sitting here waiting for an evacuation,

and no boat has come for us?

Why?

-Why? -They will soon.

No.

Fuck it. I'm not swimming.

We have to leave. Evan, we've gotta swim.

-Evan, we - we've gotta go. -Not me.

-Yes, you. We've got to go. -Forget it.

Just sit tight. Someone will help us soon.

Well, who then?

The police?

Hey, and - look. Evan, look.

There are boats out there. Why are they just sitting there?

Why is no one coming to save us?

You ran with the others?

I had to find my sister.

You didn't find her?

No.

Do you have your phone?

Not anymore.

Why, do you need it?

I thought we could call her.

Or watch a cat video.

Or something.

That's not funny.

This is life or death.

Stop it.

Shut up!

-Stop. -Stop. It's not funny.

-This is our chance, Evan. Let's go! -No, don't!

You do whatever the hell you want, but I'm surviving this.

-No! Don't do it! -Evan, Evan, Evan!

Wait!

Should we go? Should we swim?

No, I have to find my sister.

Well, we can't look right this second.

We'll be alright. We'll just chill here until it's safe.

We'll go find her later.

Or you can go, if you want.

I'm still just not too keen on swimming.

What would you be doing if you were at home?

God, to be home...

Sorry. Nevermind.

I'd take a bath.

I'd take a hot bath.

Yeah?

You could bathe here too.

I mean, look at this. Great atmosphere.

I'd buy a huge kebab.

Kebab?

There is a kebab place on Pedersgata.

I promise you, best in the whole country.

Have a huge one, with extra chili.

Buy you one too.

I'm telling you, it's the greatest kebab you'll ever have.

What do you say?

-Kebab? -Why not?

Yeah.

Yeah?

What else would you do when you got home?

You?

Ten things you want to do before you die.

-First. -Stop.

Come on, ten things.

-Anything at all. -Before I die?

Me, I'd -

I'd go to the Champions League final with Manchester United.

Champions League?

Live. In the VIP room.

-I'd join Parliament. -What?

I'd want to be a member of Parliament.

So typical!

Okay? What do you mean?

You're just...

You're the type that people would vote for.

Me, I'm...

...a loser.

And you?

What would you be?

Celebrity.

-Or actor. Or both. -Certainly.

What else?

I'd get married.

I hope so anyway. Have two kids.

Why would you have two?

My folks had four.

It's a lot. Four boys, too.

Think of my poor mom.

It's just the two of us.

Emilie and me.

Okay then, Prime Minister Kaja...

What else?

Come on.

You have to want something else other than messing about in Parliament.

-Maybe you... -I sing in a choir.

Seriously?

-Is there something wrong with that too? -No.

No. That's great.

Sing a little while.

-No. -Please. Come on.

Please.

Kaja? Is that you? Is that you singing?

-Oda? -Up here.

-I can't see you. What?

Where?

Have you seen Emilie?

She was where we went swimming yesterday. Near the cape.

Don't look.

Oh my God.

-Kaja. -I need to find her.

Where the hell are you going?

Kaja?

Kaja, I'm begging you. Come here.

Echo!

Oh my God...

I can't take it.

Emilie! Emilie!

Emilie!

No. No.

Please.

Kaja!

Kaja, it's okay.

Get up. It's okay.

-I told him to take off the jacket. -Kaja, you see the boat? Kaja.

We can help. Do you understand?

Please, just let me go.

Help is finally here. Can't you see it? C'mon. Please.

-Kaja... -He couldn't...

-I told him... -This is not your fault.

None of this is your fault. Okay?

It doesn't help your sister if you die, right?

It doesn't help, okay? You're gonna be Prime Minister, Kaja.

I'll vote for you. I'll go with you to Parliament.

It's okay.

The attack on Utøya lasted 72 minutes.

77 people died in the attacks. 99 were critically injured.

Over 300 survivors live with major psychological trauma.

The attacks were meant to create political pressure

to force the Labor party to change its immigration policy.

In court, the offender said he'd do it all over again.

The report from the official govenrment July 22nd Commission ruled...

that the bombing of the government district was preventable

and that untold lives could have been saved on Utøya

if the police had been better prepared.

The characters and the story in this film are fictional.

The film is based on detailed witness testimony

and its production was aided by several suvivors of the attack.

Right-wing terrorism is on the rise in Europe and in the West.

Domestic attacks have become increasingly common

and extremist beliefs ever more mainstream.
