I've got goosebumps. One of us. It's horrendous.
July 2011. A far-right terrorist has just massacred sixty-nine people, most of them students attending a Norwegian Labour Party Youth's summer camp on the island of Utoya.
Gunnar and Malin have sent their daughter to the island, and desperately seek contact. On the farm next-door to the perpetrator's, Petter and Inga realise their suspicions about him are well-founded. At Central Command, Alf and Unni must decide on the best course of action in response to the attack.
A searing reflection on the domestic effects of societal trauma, Edoardo Erba's Utoya offers a timely reminder of the threat of far-right extremism, inviting us to consider how tragedy can both bind people together and pull them further apart.
