Now we're in Øystese, in the Hardangerfjord.

Hardanger.

- And we are going to visit a guy name Jon Skar...
- Jon Skaar.

- Skaar?
- Skaar.

He doesn't live here. Or there. Or there. But far up in the mountains. 300 m over sea level.

He lives up there, he doesn´t come down to the civilization very often...

...so we are going to bring him a little present.

- That´s nice of us, isn´t it?
- Yes.

Endearing.

- I´ve brought a "Present", isn´t that nice? "Present"?
- Yes.

- Hi!
- Hi!

- Do you know Jon Skaar?
- Yes, I do.

We are going to visit him.

- Do you think I will like the almond cake?
- I´m sure he will.

- It take a while to go there, it´s very steep.
- Is it like you could die?

What, no.

- Could you die?
- No, if you walk normally then...

We are heading to Porsmyr quay. It´s a quay where we are going to take a boat to...

Look at this. Nice boat.

- Do you drive this boat to him?
- We do, in on Fridays and out on Sundays.

- With post, people and goods...
- Yes.

- You don´t have any post for him today, do you?
- Yes, it´s in that....

- Do you want us to bring it up to him?
- If you can do that, I would be very pleased.

- Post...
- Post carriers.

Now you are post carriers.

He lives up there on the mountain and he is 80 years old. He lives 300 m over sea level.

We will walk up there, it will take about an hour or so.

It's raining and I'm going to change.

- Are you not going to change?
- I already did, or...

- Didn't you bring anything else than that?
- No, I didn't know it was going to be that...

This is water-proof and denim jeans absorb water at least.

That will be nice for you then.

It's so typical Vegard to go like "Oh, it's raining, so we have to get prepared for..."

I brought these to sit on.

If we're taking a break on our way up there.

I give up. Thanks for the ride, see you later.

Do you think he'll notice if we take one piece of chocolate from the box?

- Yes.
- No, he won't.

Yes, he will.

He's sitting up on a mountain,
do you think he would be like...

- You can´t...
- If I just open it up in the corner?

No, we are not eating any chocolate.

When we´ll get there he will offer us some, so it doesn´t really matter...

We don´t know that for sure.

Okay, I´m your big brother, put that down and let´s head up the mountain.

Yes, but I...

- He won´t notice if I just take one out.
- You don´t know that!

- Yes, I do.
- Get a grip!

I get your point, but I´ve thought about this and this could be a way to find out if he is nice or not.

- Did you open it?
- Just a little bit.

- I´m just going to take a little piece, right.
- Okay.

Now I´m taking one.

What the hell. I don´t approve of this.

I just think it´s embarrassing to apologize for my brother who stole from the present he bought.

The damage is already done.

- It´s like this. Either you eat this or I´ll throw it away.
- No...

- I will not put it back.
- I feel like I´m Sweden or Switzerland.

- Do you want it?
- Yes.

- Eat it then.
- Only since you already opened it up.

It doesn´t mean I approve of this. Tasted like shit.

You are such a f*cking hypocrite, Vegard. That´s what you are. A hypocrite.

I clear the way and you just trot along.

Look!

- There it is.
- Now we´re there.

Look at this.

Hello there!

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

- Is it Jon?
- Yes.

How do you do? Bård. Nice to meet you.

Hi! Vegard. That was a nice handshake.

THE HERMIT

- We brought your mail. There you go.
- Thanks.

- Do you get a lot of mail?
- No. It´s just advertising mail.

- Advertising mail?
- From Bohus (furniture company) and those?

Yes, among other things.

We brought some chocolate...or... we bought some comfits.

But then we got a bit... hungry on the way up here.

But it wasn´t my idea. It was his idea.

I just thought... Now I will explain. I thought it was better if we arrived with a good mood.

Yes, sure, sure.

- And you would´ve offered us some, wouldn´t you?
- Yes.

- But there are still some left.
- Here is some more.

What do you do an usual day? You get up and then?

I´ll eat and do the dishes.

Different things.

- Well, you have to.
- Yes.

- Do you´ve a PC?
- Yes.

- You do?
- Yes.

- With Internet and everything?
- Everything.

- So you do have Internet?
- But I never use it.

- But is cool to have?
- Yes, it looks good in the house.

- Do you like to be alone?
- Yes.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

You´ve got the alternative, you could travel down.

What do you think about moving to Oslo, to an apartment?

To Oslo? No, that´s the last place...

- The last place?
- Yes.

- How long has it been since you where in Oslo?
- I´ve never been there.

The farm has belonged to the family since the 17th century.

Jon is born here and has lived here alone the last twelve years.

In this bookshelf there are books that has been there for 400 years.

Here you have bought some Solo.

Is it...this has to be a year old.

- The sound of the devil.
- It´s the work of the devil somehow.

You´ve got a tractor.

When Jon bought the tractor he made a deal to get it delivered to the farm for free.

The seller didn´t ask where he lived until after the papers were signed.

But if you fall here and break your foot and can´t get into the phone?

- Then I´ll lie here.
- Then you´ll be lying here.

- You are not afraid of that?
- No.

Have you made any arrangement that you call someone...

- No.
- No...well then...

Look at this. Oh, Jesus Christ!

What the hell!

Seriously, this is beautiful.

- Is it just too hectic some days?
- No.

Have you ever worked somewhere else than here?

No.

- Have you travelled?
- No.

- Have you been to any southern countries?
- Once.

- You have?
- Southern France.

- Down south.
- Southern France.

Okay.

You seem so wise since you take your time to answer.

Then I think that you have thought about what you answer.

- I don´t want to say something stupid.
- That´s true.

Nine.

- That´s mine.
- That´s yours.

Thanks for the chocolate, comfits and almond cake.

- Thanks a lot for having us!
- Thanks a lot for having us!

We were up there a while a ago.

Jon Skaar.

He is going to stay there.

He is going to stay there so long, you wish he was your granddad. With longest beard.

What should you ask him? He just answer that he lives there because he think it´s nice.

- "What about the post then".
- "It arrives whenever it does".
