A photographer Elin Hoyland came across two brothers in Norway named Mathias Ramen and Harald aged 75 and 85 years old respectively who spent every hour of their entire life together living a simple life on a farm that they grew on. She was so intrigued by them that she made a documentry about them named "The Brothers" and hoping everyone will get acknowledged about their unique life that she feared be extinct soon.
They both lived a simple life living living around a farm.
They were keen of watching birds and had set 20 bird houses around their house for the wildlife.
To pass their free time they used to read newspaper or listen to the radio.
In 1960 they bought a TV once but returened it saying that it takes too much time.
Their life in the rural village was very simple.
But they knew the imporatance of every thing and kept it together.
In winter they used to chop wood and store it in their home to burn.
They both lived in a home with a single bed room and sharing it with each other. Neither of them ever got married.
Until the end, after the one brother died and Mathias left alone.
And then one day he passed too.
They did'nt had a nice car, a big screen TV or a expensive house but they were happy with their lives. It would be very difficult to live a life like them withou all those things and knowing what is most important for us instead of what we pursue. What's most important in life is keeping your simblings, friends and family tightlty together and holding on to your passion.
