Jeg foreslår at vi våkner

A white envelope lands in Vilde Berg's letterbox. She is in the middle of her life and has everything she needs, but the letter tells her that she is seriously ill. Curious and full of life, Vilde has always questioned herself and the world; now she wonders which questions matter when one's own life may end, and she experiences time as both scarce and endless. Must she hurry and use it well? Alongside her struggle to live run stories of her childhood beneath the Dovre mountains, of the gold pen she stole from her grandfather, and of the tales that sprang from it, about a playful, longing rat who hopes to be seen and loved by a fox with a beautiful tail.
