In the middle of a dark empty warehouse a performance takes place without props and scenery, where characters move between lines marked on the ground. The experiment brings catharsis for the survivors of the 2011 terrorist attack in Utøya, Norway, who become directors of their own nightmares, and gives others the chance to understand, at least for a moment, what the victims of the attack went through and are still going through.

About the Film

In the middle of a dark empty warehouse a performance takes place without props and scenery, where characters move between lines marked on the ground. What begins as an anonymous and neutral space takes on the power of memories of particular shapes. The attacker's presence seems to materialise, and the young actors, following the instructions of eye witnesses, start to feel the danger and horror themselves. The experiment brings catharsis for the survivors, who become directors of their own nightmares, and gives others the chance to understand, at least for a moment, what the victims of the attack went through and are still going through.
