The plot of the novel is set mostly in 1942. Časlav - Čavo Čavić, mature and experienced man, and Rale Railić, a beardless young man, are heroes "in their own way", they are lead by themselves that are waging "their battles" for the common good. The goal of the fight is mere survival, because their main opponents are hunger and scarcity. They are also fighting against the enemy, and especially against Croatian Ustashas. The author uses "local folk" language from the lexical ambience of the area from which heroes come from. Karan talks about the inner loneliness of Rale Railić after Čavić's death. The lack of a classic plot is compensated by psychological analyzes of the main characters. The novel was published in 2018.
