Their terminally ill mother finds it difficult to look after both Ingemar and his brother. Thus, in order to allow the mother to rest as needed, the two brothers are separated and sent off to live with their relatives. Ingemar is sent to live with his uncle, Gunnar, who lives in a tiny town along with his wife. The town, in spite of its small size, is filled with eccentric characters that Ingemar makes acquaintances with throughout the story. One of the characters named Saga is a tomboy that takes a liking to Ingemar and shows this through peculiar measures. Fransson is a man that continuously fixes his roof and Mr. Arvidsson is an old man that takes a liking to lingerie catalogs. With time, Ingemar begins to form a bond with his uncle too. However, as the story progresses, Ingemar keeps telling himself that his circumstances could have been much worse despite the events that occur later on. As he repeatedly tells himself this, he compares the events to situations that were much worse in his vision, such as the dog that was sent out to space but died when her food supply ran out.
