What it's about: At thirty, Polish carpenter Bartek spends a year at a folk high school in Telemark to improve his Norwegian and have the free year he never had, and finds himself sharing a room with nineteen-year-old Elling and being called 'onkel'. On a soaking autumn trip his practical skills and their words for feelings meet, and on the last day Elling's mother asks which subject he teaches.
Da Bartek fylte tretti, gjorde han noe som alle vennene hans syntes var rart. Han sa opp jobben som snekker i Skien og søkte på en folkehøgskole i Telemark. Han hadde bodd i Norge i åtte år. Han kunne snakke norsk på byggeplassen, men han ville kunne mer enn hammer, spiker og pause. Og hjemme i Polen hadde han begynt å jobbe da han var atten. Han hadde aldri hatt et år bare for seg selv.
