Eyewitness (Øyevitne) is a Norwegian

Eyewitness,[2] for HBO Europe as Valea Mută, and for TF1
in 2018 as Les Innocents.

Plot

Philip and Henning, both 15 years old, live in the small village of Mysen, close to the border between Norway and Sweden. They are classmates and neighbors, but also secretly in love. While secretly meeting at a gravel pit in the nearby forest, they witness the shooting of four members of a criminal gang. The boys are also threatened by the killer, but they manage to overpower him and escape with the murder weapon. To avoid revealing their relationship, they decide to remain silent about being at the scene of the crime.

Helen Sikkeland, the local police chief, is in charge of the investigation into the murder. She is also Philip's foster mother. As the gang violence continues and more resources are devoted to the investigation, the boys' pact of secrecy begins to unravel, causing a rift between Philip and Henning, who is most concerned about revealing why they were in the forest together that night. As Helen continues to search for the truth, Henning is tracked down and attacked by the murderer, who turns out to be much closer to the investigation than anyone realized.
