22 July

The story begins on July 21, 2011, just one day before a shocking tragedy. This day sets the stage for the events that will change the lives of many in Norway forever.

Anders Behring Breivik, dressed in a police uniform, fills a van with homemade explosives. This act of preparation marks the beginning of his devastating plot against innocent people.

Breivik parks the bomb-laden van outside the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. A powerful explosion follows, wreaking havoc and resulting in numerous casualties in the heart of Oslo.

On the island of Utøya, teenagers gather for a summer camp organized by the Workers' Youth League. As excitement fills the air, the news of the bombing brings them to a sudden and shocking halt.

As campers react to the news of the Oslo bombing, Viljar Hanssen frantically calls his parents in concern for their safety. The grim realization of an unfolding tragedy begins to set in among the campers.

Pretending to be a police officer, Breivik arrives at the ferry landing. He manipulates the camp staff, seizing control of the situation and corralling the campers into one area, setting the stage for horror.

Breivik violently responds to requests for identification by killing the head of security and the camp director. Chaos erupts as he opens fire on the frightened teens, resulting in a heartbreaking loss of life.

Viljar and his brother, Torje, hide on a rocky beach as the shooting unfolds. In a moment of desperation, Viljar manages to contact his mother, sharing the horrifying reality of their situation.

Breivik discovers Viljar's hiding spot and opens fire, causing severe injuries to Viljar while miraculously leaving Torje unharmed. The brothers’ hopes for survival waver as chaos continues around them.

As the attack comes to an end, Breivik surrenders to police tactical teams awaiting his arrival. This surrender leads to a lengthy interrogation that reveals his extremist motives.

Viljar undergoes emergency surgery to remove bullet fragments embedded in his brain. His family faces a desperate wait, grappling with the uncertainty of his survival and the trauma of the day.

As Viljar's parents search for their children, they are struck with despair when they learn that Viljar is missing. Their heartache deepens when they find out that Viljar is in critical condition post-surgery.

During his trial, Breivik reveals his affiliation with a white nationalist group, threatening further violence. His legal team faces an ethical dilemma over representing such a controversial figure as he defends his actions.

In a brave act of resilience, Viljar testifies in court alongside Lara Rachid, recounting the traumatic events of the attack. He shares the heartbreak of losing his closest friends, seeking justice for the victims.

Viljar, waking from a coma, begins the long road of rehabilitation, coping with life-altering injuries and memories of the tragedy. The community faces the scars left by the attack as they strive to heal and move forward.
