Synopsis

Old man Pettersson (Pettson) lives in a small house, spending his time chopping wood, doing odd jobs, working on his inventions, fishing and taking care of his chickens. It seems he has everything he needs in life. However, sometimes Pettersson feels lonely. One day his warm-hearted neighbour, Beda Andersson, gives him a small tomcat, so the old man has a bit of company. Pettersson names him Findus and raises him lovingly. His happiness is perfect when the small cat begins to speak: it is the start of a wonderful and inseparable friendship. Based on the Swedish author Sven Nordqvist’s internationally loved children’s books (translated into more than thirty languages already), the film tells the story of the loner Pettersson and his friend, the small, speaking cat, Findus, who together experience a series of adventures and learn what it means to have friends.
