Magnhild Snaprud from Søgne and Christoffer Christensen from Denmark found each other when they went on the outdoor line at Høgskulen in Telemark. They have taken over the decommissioned mountain farm Listøl in Åseral in Vest-Agder. Magnhild is a teacher down in the village and uses a wheeled sled when she sets off on the school road on a winter's day, while Christoffer has fallen in love with old timber houses and does restoration work.

Klara and Einar Hårstad live at the mountain farm Lysvatnet on the Fosenhalvøya in Trøndelag. The distance to the nearest neighbor is 11 kilometers without roads. Hunting, fishing and outdoor life are what occupied Einar the most, and he could not have imagined a better and freer life. It was painful to send the children to school, Klara thinks. Now they are happy that a son will follow in their footsteps.
