Min Kim
Nam Sook blev i 1975 fløjet fra Sydkorea til Danmark sammen med ti andre børn. I lufthavnen stod hendes adoptivforældre sammen med de andre forældrepar og så deres børn blive født ud af et fly. Nam Sook fik ved ankomsten navnet Eva, og hendes kommende veninde, Min Kim, der også var med på flyet, blev navngivet Gull-Mai. Familierne besøgte hinanden én gang om året, og de to piger blev pennevenner. Da Eva var 12 år, mistede de kontakten, og de genså først hinanden 30 år senere. Da Gull-Mai fortæller om sin voldsomt svære opvækst, bliver Eva ramt af én eneste følelse: Hun må skrive en bog om at vokse op som adopteret i Danmark. Romanen Min Kim undersøger, hvad der sker med et barn, når det bliver adskilt fra sin familie og sat ind i en ny. Når fortællingen om ens liv pludselig bryder sammen og for evigt ændres. Gennem romanens breve, samtaler og rejser spejles Gull-Mais og Evas opvækst. De to kvinders virkeligheder fletter sig sammen til en fortælling om myters sammenbrud, om
