Overview

When Anna Neshov suffers a stroke a week before Christmas Eve and is left dying, her three sons must take stock of their own lives and each other's. For various reasons, they have not been in contact for many years. The youngest brother, Erlend, works as a window dresser in Copenhagen. Margido owns a small funeral home in Trondheim, and the eldest brother, Tor, runs the family farm on the Byneset peninsula outside Trondheim. Now they meet at their mother's sickbed.
