What it's about: Fernanda from Brazil goes to her first Norwegian funeral, for her husband's quiet grandfather in Steinkjer, and is shocked by how silent and controlled everyone is in the church. At the memorial gathering afterwards, over coffee and cream cake, the family starts telling stories and laughing, and when Fernanda shares the one thing she knew about the old man, his widow reveals the secret behind it.
Fernanda hadde vært i mange begravelser i Brasil, men aldri i Norge. Da bestefaren til Ståle døde i en alder av nittien år, kjørte de fra Trondheim til Steinkjer en grå fredag i november. Ingolf hadde vært bonde hele livet, og han hadde vært en mann som sa svært lite. Fernanda hadde møtt ham bare fire ganger, og hun var ikke sikker på om han hadde sagt mer enn tjue ord til henne til sammen.
