Lars now lives alone, having shared custody of his 17-year-old daughter, Ingrid, while his ex-wife, Marie lives as a neo-Victorian with her 19th-century husband, Gregers. Some modern Norwegians perceive these 'refugees' as a drain on society. The Stone-Agers mainly live at the fringes and in forests. Some 19th-century individuals found work as journalists, office workers, and teachers, while most of the old Norse folk are homeless and sleep in parks. Police officer Lars Haaland meets the first 'time migrants', who speak Old Norse.Ī few years later, the so-called 'Beforeigners' struggle to integrate into modern Norwegian society. People from different time periods-the Stone Age, Viking Age, and the 19th century-suddenly appear in the present. The series takes place in Oslo, where sudden flashes of light appear in the bay in Bjørvika.
