Hans Barrøy dreamed of three things; A motor boat, a bigger island and another life. He often told his first two dreams to everyone he knew and didn't know, but he never mentioned the last one, not even to himself. Maria also dreamed of three things: more children, a smaller island and another life. Unlike her husband, she often thought about the last one, and as the first two gradually faded away, the third one grew larger and heavier.
