Kjartan is on his own, but his path is rather a descent into darkness. He starts as a petty thief, then becomes a prostitute, burglar and "debt collector" (when he returns the slave woman to her masters).
1. With the two women he ends up robbing; 2. With the pimp (who gets him "jobs" and on whom he has a crush); 3. With the slave woman; 4. On the night of his job gone wrong.
Such a rough childhood. Poor Eyolf! I'm so glad he found his way! Though I still feel a bit bad for the woodcutter and his wife...it's like...their only crime was being too simple for his tastes...
When the dark secrets of his past threaten to be exposed, Eyolf Sólhrafn - Norway's most famous mystic of the late 10th century - fears the end of his prosperous career, so he has no choice but to rely on the flimsy relationship with his new ally, the austere Yngvar Eindride. Though different like sun and moon, Eyolf and Yngvar start out as business partners, struggle with their clashing ideologies, political rivals and Eyolf's past mistakes and misfortunes, in the process building a stronger connection between them...
