Halvbroren - Season 1 (2013)

When Vera realizes that young Barnum doesn't have any friends, she sends her son off to dancing school. Barnum, upon following Fred's advice of acting the complete opposite of normal, is consequently kicked out of school. His abnormal behavior is noticed by Peder and Vivian who, like Barnum, are there against their will. Fred continues his search for the man who entered the gates of the apartment complex on liberation day, his father, whilst adult Barnum stumbles upon new clues concerning Fred's last whereabouts before he disappeared.

The friendship between Vivian, Peder and young Barnum is flourishing, and Barnum has never been happier. As it were, Barnum has quite the pitching arm, and when Arnold rents Bislett stadium to teach the lads how to throw the discus, Fred's accuracy is more precise than Arnold ever could have imagined. The discus hits Arnold in the head, killing him instantly. Adult Barnum and Vivian receive a pleasant surprise, but simultaneously their relationship is ridden with dishonesty.

On Arnold's burial, the arrival of the circus director Mundus causes quite a stir amongst the family. He reveals bits of their late father's past, and the bereaved are in for a surprise or two. During the memorial they also learn that the disappearance of a valued family treasure, a letter from the Elder's former boyfriend written in Greenland before he disappeared in the glacier, was Arnold's doing. Fred wants it back. Adult Barnum realizes that if he is to find Fred, he must find the letter.

Young Barnum receives a typewriter from Fred for his birthday, and a writer is born. Barnum's feelings for Vivian grow ever fonder, but when he realizes that Fred likes her as well and confronts him, the half-brother disappears. Several years later they find Fred's jacket in Nyhavn, Copenhagen, and the family arrange a funeral for the missing brother and son.

Barnum decides to leave Vivian, and heads back to Røst to get on the wagon. Incidentally, Røst is precisely where he at last finds the answers to the half-brother riddle. When Peder invites him over to Berlin to sell screenplays, Barnum joins him. However, Boletta quickly sends for his immediate return. Fred's back.
