Favourite

Ida's deep-seated fear of terrorism takes a twist when she suspects Axel, with ties to incel culture, is a looming threat as a future school shooter. This tale explores what happens when paranoia meets reality, and how obsession can either avert disaster or spark it.

Ida, a psychology student with a deep-seated fear of terrorism and danger, moves from her small, safe hometown to bustling Oslo. Consumed by her anxiety and mistrust of the unknown, Ida finds herself increasingly paranoid. Her fears intensify when she meets Axel, a socially awkward young man connected to the incel subculture. Convinced that Axel is a potential school shooter, Ida becomes fixated on preventing a catastrophe, a mission that spirals into a tangled web of fear, responsibility, and ethical dilemmas.
