Umlingo omkhulu uZabbatini wayekholelwa kakhulu emlingo, wayehlala kuwo futhi wanikela ngeminyaka yakhe emnandi kakhulu ekukhohliseni, endleleni yokukholwa kokungajwayelekile, okungapheli kakhulu ngokunganaki kokwazi iqhinga elilula elihambisa yonke into, akhohlwe ukuthi okubalulekile into ukukhohlisa. Ngo-2007 uZabbatini akasenkulu, kodwa useyindoda endala egcwele ukucasuka nokudinwa.
UMax ungumfana oneminyaka engu-10 ogcina ngokuhlangana nomlingo lapho ehlala khona eLos Angeles. Kumxake uZabbatini ukuthi umuntu usamkhumbula. Noma kunjalo, umfana omncane owayengamboni enza. Ekunqikeni kokuqala komlingo kunento ethile esakhiweni esivamile, kepha imizwa le ndaba eyinikezayo inxephezela leli phuzu lokuqagela (noma kunjalo kujwayelekile ukuthi, lapho siyekile ukuba nokholo nokuphupha, kuba Kunzima ngathi ukuthi sibuyele kuleso sikhala somlingo)
Kuze kube yilapho uZabbatini omkhulu evusa izinkumbulo zakhe zobuntwana, ebuswa ukuthakazelisa lapho ayebhajwe khona ngumkhohlisi oyinsumansumane wangaleso sikhathi. Kulezo zimpunga zangaphakathi kwezwe laseYurophu ingane isanda kuthola ukuthi ibifuna ukuba yini. Iminyaka eminingi wayazi ngezigemegeme zomlingo wakhe oyisithenjwa, uhlobo oluyedwa olwabonakala lundizela phezu kosizi olunzima, ubuNazi nakho konke okwenzeka ezwenikazi elidala.
Okwedlule nokwamanje kuhlanganisiwe. UMax uguqulwa abe nguZabbatini abe yingane ayenguye uqobo. Izicelo zakhe zokuthi abangele uhlobo lomlingo phakathi kwabazali bomfana, phakathi nenqubo yesehlukaniso, ziyaphendulwa. Ngenkathi sizibandakanya noMax, saphinde safunda ubuntwana bukaZabbatini ePrague. Izikhathi ezihluke kakhulu ngezindaba ezifanayo zothando, ukudabuka kwenhliziyo, ukudumala kanye nethemba elihlala likhona, umlingo, ukholo.
