"It will rain in Puji soon," says Xiumi's father, and then he disappears. Her moody mother, a stranger who claims to be her cousin and Jinchan with her amber eyes all seem to hold secrets about the world outside, but no one tells the girl anything, and it frays her nerves. This is a tale of growing up and of a stormy life caught in the currents of history, which leads her to dream of a Puji where everyone dresses, works and even dreams alike.
