Gradually,Viktor begins to notice that people are behaving rather strangely to his big brother. Viktor begins to wonder, moreover, why Uncle Reidar is hanging around the house so much these days.What on earth is going on between Uncle Reidar and the boys’ mother? One day, Ole Kristian explains to Viktor that he isn’t his real brother at all; he also says that Viktor may soon prove to be the stronger of the two boys after all.

And then there’s Nadine, whom Viktor likes very much – even though she’s just a girl. One day they meet and Nadine gives Viktor his first kiss. In the meantime, Ole Kristian’s condition gets worse and worse and finally, he has to be admitted to hospital. He has cancer and, eventually, he dies. Following the funeral, a tough task awaits Viktor...
