Synopsis
Honestly, I think this can be good! You have made a story that let's you weave in different voices and narrative techniques without it being artificial. This is a story about a young man getting to know his father trough his fathers memories and his own eyes. From the start you have a purpose for your wanderings, which I for one think is a good thing.
When it comes to the story itself, I think it's plausible (has a logical build up) and potential. There were some things however that struck out to med as weird (but that might make sense if I read the novel in it's entirety). Like:
>Each of them is from Oslo, and returning there by train the protagonist lies about his life there to hide the fact he is essentially a hermit with a dead-end job. His friend, he discovers, lives in a wealthy area of the city and has a fiancee and a well-paying job and have just placed a downpayment on their apartment.
Where is the ward?
Didn't the MC move to Oslo?
Why was his room occupied (other than driving the story forward)?
And
>Finally he returns to his hometown, where he had been invited to the wedding of his old friend and his fiancee.
Who is the old friend? Not the guy from the ward I assume.
Sorry for the (probably) stupid questions.

So, in my opinion, you have a good skeleton for a story. Your synopsis demonstrates a lot of possibilities, and the actions of the MC flows quite well. But of course, it all boils down to your delivery. For instance, to put it crudely, if I'd told you that I was writing a book about a nervous young man and an old jewish man, walking around Dublin, experiencing and thinking and meeting people doing their daily chores, or the entire life of a college English professor, it would be quite hard for you to determine whether or not it would be crap based on the stripped description alone. I therefore think it's limited in terms of what you can get out Veeky Forums in regards to your plot. It is what it is. I'm sorry for the rambling, I know you only asked for an opinion on the synopsis.
I'm on my mobile, so I apologize for the sloppiness inn writing.
I just want to add that it's so nice to see someone who actually creates something, instead of talking about doing it, or just shitpost.
