Rasmus is a commissioning editor prepared to go to lengths to keep people happy - which is just what he has to do, because Rasmus has a problem. He can't say no. To his ex-girlfriend who wants a baby or his new girlfriend, who wants things clear cut, or his author pal, who wants to write for a limited audience, or his new boss, who wants to publish sex guides.

On a chilly morning an old hunter passes the farm of his old friend Preben. The wind blows the gates open and reveals a terrible tableau in the yard. The day before, Preben's wife has left him with their boy. With his family gone, his pride is overwhelming: The bull stands there solid as a rock. The hunter reaches for his gun - but a bull like this is hard to kill.
