To invade another person's privacy against their will, physical violence isn't always necessary. Sometimes just a word, a thoughtless comment, a misguided gesture, a glance lingering a little too long is enough.

No means no, right...?

Pettersson and Findus, the quirky protagonists of the famous Swedish children's book series, are inseparable and lead a peaceful life on their farm. That is, until Caruso, the vain rooster from the neighboring farm, disturbs their blissful solitude while fleeing the soup pot. Caruso crows incessantly, playing tunes and shamelessly turning the heads of the farm's hens. Everyone loves Caruso. Everyone except Findus. The tame cat's spirit is shaken. Findus fears for his position as Pettersson's favorite, and when he's had enough, he hatches a cunning plan.

How does a child react when their mother no longer finds life worth living? They write a list of everything that's great in the world and hope their mother reads it: 1. Ice cream, 2. Water fights, 3. Staying up later than usual and watching TV, 4. The color yellow. And while the child writes, hoping their mother's depression will end and everything will get better, they grow into a young person who studies, falls in love, gets married, and gets divorced: a person who lives a life with all its ups and downs, always finding a reason to add to the list. Over time, the list grows into a life document that soon contains a million entries.
