All the while, when no one is looking, mysterious feathered appendages begin to sprout and grow inexorbly from Lakki's back. Lakki's fantasies of flight become his tenuous salvation, a heaven-sent respite from a world which relentlessly boxes him in and shuts him down. In a stirring climax, fully winged and prepared for a final flight, Lakki must battle for his onw sanity as he faces his mother's sudden confrontation with death. Graphic language, nudity and mature themes.
