Following in the footsteps of our best literary tradition, and above all Herzegovinian, writer Adnan Repeša equally skillfully uses Kovač's self-aware narrator - the one who collects and reconstructs a bygone world in a memoir - and the powerful, lyrical narrator Hamza Hume - who excites the world with plastic and juicy language, returning it to the primordial state of the family, the hearth and the small social community.

Ultimately, a drama about the loneliness of the writer.
