The greater part of the book is based on a true story and describes the experiences of a boy in a summer camp, where he learns many of the lessons of life in the difficult way. In a broader aspect, it is about man, who possesses the quality of a leader, but the system turns him into a loser. The action only seemingly develops in a smaller country of the Balkans, Europe, during its early post-communist period. Human relations viewed are independent of place and time and of the age of the characters, as it is no secret that children's world is a reflection of a purer type of the world of adults. This is a book about the collision between good and evil, about truth and lie, about dignity and humiliation, about friendship and betrayal... But besides drama, there is also humour in it; besides violence, there is nobility and also philosophical and psychological thinking, entwined in the dynamic action.
