Normanden Fridtjof Nansen er en af historiens helt store opdagelsesrejsende, og han var en stor inspiration for den danske polarforsker Knud Rasmussen. "Tre år i drivisen" er baseret på Nansens egen beretning om sin polarfærd med træskibet Fram i årene 1893-1896. Den fortæller historien om en fantastisk og farlig ekspedition i det smukke, men ufremkommelige ishav og om det sammenhold og planlægning, der skulle til for, at ekspeditionen endte i succes og ikke katastrofe. Den danske forfatter Ole Bang blev født i 1917.

"Mit barn slog mig i panden med en sten. Mit barn kastede en taburet efter mig. En hammer. En pude. Mit barn slog mig i hovedet. Mit barn slog mig i hovedet. Mit barn slog mig. Sparkede. Slog sit hoved tilbage mod mit hoved. Mit barn ligger i mine arme og sparker mig. Mit barn." SOL er en poetisk fortælling om livet som mor til et barn med autisme. Digtet beskriver familiens liv og hverdag, den indre og ydre smerte, der nager, fordi barnet bliver ved med at slå, og den kærlighed og skønhed, der blomstrer op mellem mor og barn på trods af alle udfordringerne.
