The Pink Lady, or as Oscar calls her, Pink Mama, offers the boy a game — every day he "lives" 10 years of his life. In the 10 days remaining before the boy's death, his entire life unfolds: from childhood, youth, and marriage, to old age and death. Additionally, on the Pink Lady's advice, Oscar turns to God and writes Him letters.
