A 24-minute portrait of Aarnes (1923–2013), about life, the relationship with God, a life after this, and the meaning of it all. Also about the Other or charity via the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, and hence Aarnes' thoughts on the importance of family and friends based on the philosophy of powerlessness. Two interviews were conducted eight years apart (2003-2011). See the latest in Le Monde diplomatique, The power of powerlessness June 2011.

Truls Lie assisted Aarnes with the seminars at the University of Oslo about Emmanuel Levinas around 1990. Aarnes meant a lot for a number of people – such as his work at the University of Oslo, his series of seminars at the College of Humanities and Granavollen. Aarnes was in the editorial staff of Idea and thought 1960-85 and editor of Thorleif Dahl's Library of Culture (1978-2001).
