A man who has achieved everything that most people merely dream of – businesses, real estate, wealth – faces cancer. In the hospital, he reflects on his life. Professional successes are followed by failures in personal relationships, particularly with his son.
In the same hospital, a five-year-old girl spends her time painting, as if that will help her defeat the illness. She has understood that this is impossible, but she continues to do so to give courage to the adults. On the eve of Christmas, the man realizes that he can overturn the predetermined fate of the small girl and decides to do everything in his power to save her.
To achieve this, he first needs to learn if his own life truly had any value; his son is the only one who can provide the answer. With this tender story, Backman reminds us that life is an unexpected gift; what we leave behind depends on how we shared our lives with those we loved.
