Jarle, his mother and his father move into a terraced house with a carport in Stavanger, Norway’s oil capital, and everything looks good for the little family until the father begins to drink. All they want is for things to be nice. Jarle is determined to make the best of the world he lives in: he falls hard for girls, becomes an anti-racist and a feminist, and pop music never takes a break. Then one day he changes his surname: he no longer wants to be Jarle Orheim, and from now on he is Jarle Klepp. What happened to the little family, and why did people who wished each other so well hurt each other so badly? The story runs from 1972 to 1996.
