Big Nobody follows Constance, a half-Greek, half-British adolescence during her coming-of-age era in the late 1970s. We first meet Connie as she struggles to find a way to live with her father, who she blames for the death of her mother and brothers that has occurred in the recent past. She has nicknamed her father The Fat Murderer and has a vivid interior life where she converses with David Bowie and Marc Bolan, whose posters dot her bedroom walls.
