Vaim

Aboard his boat, the Eline, Jatgeir arrives in Bjørgvin from Vaim, the village where he lives. He needs to buy a needle and thread to sew on a button, but the shops quote him an exorbitant price, and he is swindled twice over. Before returning home empty-handed, he drops anchor at a fishing village to sleep on his boat, but a familiar voice wakes him in the middle of the night: it is Eline, the great love of his youth, who has left her husband, Frank, and wants to return to Vaim with him.
