Nuts are being stolen in the snow-covered forest. The elderly Inspector Gordon takes on the case – just before he retires. With the help of the young, nimble mouse Buffy, the pair set out in search of the culprit. Together, they prove that, whether young or old, anything can be solved as a team. And there’s one rule that always applies in the forest: »It’s OK to be nice, but being mean is against the law!«

Based on the award-winning children’s books by Ulf Nilsson and Gitte Spee.

»I always go to this little bookshop around the corner. Every once in a while I buy some books and that’s how I found stories about Detective Gordon and Paddy. I really liked the illustrations, but when I started to read one called The First Case, I really fell in love with the tone. There is a certain calm in the way Ulf Nilsson tells this story. He advises us to be nice to each other and friendly, but at the same time it’s a real page-turner – you want to understand what is happening. It’s about this unlikely friendship, but also about ageing. About getting ready to retire and discovering it’s not as nice as you thought it would be. I read many children’s books because I am a parent myself, and there are so few that you really love. But I always come back to certain authors and he is one of them.«
