Meet the boy who lives on a special ward of a Saigon hospital, where both patients and staff call him Ka Vietnamese for fish because of the scaly, itchy, peeling skin that covers his body. 8,000 miles away, a British woman loves him like a son, and every year for the last 15, she has travelled to Vietnam to see him. Their lives are worlds apart, but year after year, their extraordinary friendship gets stronger. Now he's turned 18, it's decision time for his doctors.
