Thirty years ago Eivind left his homestead and his teenage sweetheart behind, and he has not been back since. He always meant to go back when everything was settled - only that never happened. Then young Kris appears. He wants to travel the world but didn’t get any further than the lifeboat of Jernanger. The two men find one another and together they hatch a great plan."
