The novel takes place in Serbia in 1999, during and after the NATO bombing. The general mobilisation has not spared George Uzelc - Jola, an extravagant neighbourhood boy, a smart and quiet member of the self-proclaimed urban elite. He returns from the war devoid of all illusions, and in a cartwheel slalom through corrupted social structures, a seven-day sex festival and the struggle for the Dutch visa, he gets away from suffocating family and social lashings, gutting himself to recognise his "real" self.
