About the film

On July 22 2011, a bomb attack in the centre of Oslo and a shooting spree on the island Utøya took the lives of 77 people. It was the senseless, brutal act of one man: Anders Breivik. Wrong Time Wrong Place tells the story of 5 individuals who were present then and shows the role of coincidence in this tragedy. A sequence of small, trivial happenings marks the thin line between life and death. Two minutes earlier or later can be of decisive importance. Wrong Time Wrong Place is a film about the bargain with fate. Some of these survivors discuss their personal experiences during the attack and the random events that preceded it. How did they get to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Interspersed with long, atmospheric shots of the now deserted Utøya, the protagonists tell their emotional tales. The film is an essay on the insignificance of life and the role played by chance.
