The Half Brother is a television series that includes four generations in the 20th century, told through the story of Barnum Nilsen. Barnum grows up in post-war Oslo with his older half-brother Fred in a home dominated by three generations of women - his mother Vera, her mother Boletta and the family matriarch Den Gamle. Barnum is the son of the clown and shopkeeper Arnold, while the silent and secretive Fred, who was conceived in a rape on Liberation Day, does not know who his father is.
At school, Barnum has few friends and he can only be at peace as long as big brother Fred watches over him. Barnum is not yet a teenager when Fred disappears and thus becomes one of the many absent men who characterize their family history. A wall falls out of Barnum's life and he becomes obsessed with finding his half-brother again.
