Plot
The radical author Olav Klungeland feels divided and inadequate both as a writer, as a politician and as a fellow human being. He gradually becomes more acquainted with a former priest, Eilif Grtteland, who comes from a small place in the south-west and lives in a hotel in Oslo - at the same time as his cancer-sick wife is in hospital. On a rainy April night, the two young men are sitting in the hotel room. The older man tells the younger one about his life, from his childhood in small conditions further south in the country, through his youth and as a young man - at the same time as he worked as a priest in Finnmark.
In the post-war period, the priest's own brother Lars was affected by the treason settlement - and indirectly himself. A gnawing doubt hits him, undermining the love of his wife Elna and their daughter Lillian. The meeting between this priest and the young author will soon prove to be of decisive importance for both of their further lives. During a celebration on May 1, the author Olav is expected to give a fiery speech about the liberating power of socialism. The older man's account makes up most of the story, about his encounters with different people who have meant a lot to his development and attitudes.
