![]() Immediately after his death he finds himself standing outside a small cottage. Right before he dies, he leaves a message for his mother: "Don't cry mommy, we'll see each other again in Nangijala". Two months after his brother Jonatan, Karl dies of his illness. A white pigeon appears one night on his window sill, and Karl interprets it as a confirmation that it is. Karl is left alone, and starts to wonder if the story about Nangijala is really true. Jonatan attempts (and succeeds) to rescue his little brother by carrying him on his back and jumping out the window, but is fatally injured in the fall. Some time later a fire spreads throughout their home. Jonatan assures Karl that time is different in Nangijala and that 90 years will only feel like a few days to Karl. ![]() But Karl is not happy it could still be over 90 years before Jonatan would come there. In the afterlife, all men will go to a land on the other side of the stars, known as Nangijala, where they're still in "the campfires and storytelling times". His adored big brother, 13 year old Jonatan, calms him down and starts telling him about life after death. 10 year old Karl Lejon is chronically ill and has found out he is going to die.
