Journal Entry 3 by Gahan from Ziano Piacentino, Emilia Romagna Italy on Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Arvid Jansen's is a 43 Norwegian man who lost his parents and two brothers in a horrific ferry accident. Even though it is now six years later, Arvid still suffers crippling grief. He feels guilty because he fought with his family while they were alive and misses them terribly now that they are gone.
Arvid wanders around Oslo and through the Norwegian countryside, without purpose or direction, shifting through memories of his father with whom he had a conflictual relationship. A divorced father of two girls whom he rarely sees, Arvid is also estranged from his only remaining older brother. He wants to be alone yet he yearns for human contact and has stilted relationships with two neighbors, a Kurdish man who knows only three words of Norwegian and a woman who lives across the way, Ms Grinde. After Arvid's brother attempts suicide, Arvid tries to reconnect with him and pull them both out of the abyss.
