The Brothers

Two elderly brothers, Harald and Mathias Ramen, live together in a small, rural Norwegian hamlet. They allowed Elin Hoyland to document their lives. 

The result is a fascinating and warmly human study of a way of life that has almost entirely disappeared. The brothers have always lived on the farm where they were born, rarely spending even just a night elsewhere.

Without a TV and only local radio and the newspaper as access to the outside world, they lead the life of an age gone by.
