Havet stiger

In Oslo on a day in April 1996, four stories play out in the confines of a flat in the heart of the city. There's the maid being sought out by the lover in The Pyjama Man. But what have the girls really been doing in The Hammerhead Shark? In Can You Hear the Moon the older sister brings a young black man home, while in Floating a whole symphony orchestra turns up for a party. Through it all runs the story about granddad Olsen, who lives in exile in Spain.
