Kaja and Magnus are hiding from the shooter, when she tells him she sings in a choir. He asks her to sing something for him. See more »
This film is incredible strong, well made and I recommend it strongly. The hardest part is that this has happened for real, and this film depicts the fear that these young people must have felt in a very convincing way. The main character plays a very convincing role and her emotions seemed very believeable and true.
I think of all the victims who died this tragic way, on one of the darkest days in moden Norwegian history. Rest in peace.
