Egholm and his God

The narrative follows a working-class household strained by poverty and a father's fervent involvement in a religious Brotherhood, seen through the eyes of his young son. Scenes alternate between domestic detail and the father's shifting moods—proud or pious, imposing or absent—while the mother struggles to hold the family together. Underlying tensions include financial worry, secrecy about missing money, and the unsettling presence of a violent neighbor whose daytime brutality and nocturnal menace intensify the boy's fears. The story examines faith, hypocrisy, and the fragile interior life of a child amid adult contradictions.
