"Tarjei is director Tyra Tønnessen's adaption of Helga Flatland's award-winning trilogy of novels called Stay If You Can, which has brought her the literary awards Tarjei Vesaas' debutant prize, Ungdommens kritikerpris (The Young Critics' Award) and Amalie Skram Prize. The trilogy is about how differently people relate to loss, recognition and survival, and is a meeting with a village and a family struck by disaster."
At the website of The National Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Tarjei:
"Tarjei and three of his childhood friends from a small Norwegian village decide to join the Norwegian forces in Afghanistan. They all have different reasons to leave - and reasons not to stay. Only one of them returns alive. It isn't Tarjei. What is left, is a family and a society in mourning.
Mother Karin locks herself into Tarjei's room, lying in his bed. Strong and silent father Hallvard keeps sitting in the staircase looking towards the tall mountains. None of them handles being confronted with their own sorrow or feeling of guilt. Sister Julie tries to keep the family and the farm alive. The local doctor, Ragnhild, comforts, hugs and listens. Why did Tarjei leave? How to go on with Tarjei gone?
(...)
Tarjei isn't really a story of the great war in Afghanistan, but about the small wars at home, those taking place across the kitchen table during the evening meal, in the cow barn by dawn or in the stairs under slight rain. About the paralysing sorrow, about how the safe can become unsafe, and the simple can become the most difficult of all."
