I think you could call him this: Kor of the Lightning Conductor. When I was eleven, as I was saying, my big brother was a squatter. He was a famous squatter. The even had hic picture in the newspapers and he was on television. Maybe it's true that I thought I was getting old because I had reached the double figures. But, really, what more could I want? At my age, not everyone could say they had a big brother who has not only a squatter but also a doctor. Well, almost a doctor because he only had to pass the surgery exam.» Synopsis Little Yung, an eleven-year-old Chinese girl whom we can call Moon, which is what her adoptive parents called her, tells us this fragment of her story. And she does so in a free and fluid style, giving us glimpses into several lives with their dreams and their tragedies but, above all, she reveals for us her fascination for her big brother, her hero, her big love.
