It explores themes of struggle and community through the lens of Icelandic life, focusing on characters facing both personal and societal challenges. The narrative centers around Pall à Seyru, a poor peasant grappling with despair during a harsh winter, and Ormarr, a young boy dealing with the complexities of growing up in the shadow of his father's expectations. At the start of the story, Pall is seen trudging through deep snow, burdened by the emptiness of his sack, a metaphor for his dire circumstances amidst the festive season. This encounter sets the stage for the character dynamics that unfold. Ormarr, reflecting on his mother's death and his father's desire for him to take over the family estate, finds solace in music. Their paths intertwine as Ormarr's kind-heartedness leads him to share his meager catch with Pall, an act of compassion against a backdrop of poverty. Together, the opening chapters lay the groundwork for a narrative rich with emotional depth and moral conflicts, portraying the struggle to maintain humanity in the face of adversity.
