Publisher about the book

Teenage girl Daša is a calm and friendly girl who is always careful not to offend or hurt anyone, but her surroundings do not return the favor. She grows up in a world of shallow cultural patterns, great social differences, the snobbery of a consumer-oriented society, hypocrisy, opportunism and only principled equality and tolerance of difference, which are in reality based on exclusion and violence against those who are different. All this gives rise to resistance in her, and she is forced to face her own limits – with her small everyday fears on the one hand and courage on the other – and to find alternatives, which is very difficult in a society where even rebellion is already for sale. She gains self-confidence when she discovers a musical group with which she identifies, which also strengthens her rebellious attitude. Soon a diverse group of outcasts, different people, gather around her, who help each other defend their uniqueness. The heroine of the novel is quite surprised when she discovers that she has more in common with some older, adult, different people than with many of her peers. The realization that her father, who always seemed to her to be a "just an ordinary guy," is actually a former punk is a real shock. But she soon realizes that this could be very useful for her...

The narrative, which is actually a story about finding identity and "standing on one's own feet", but also points out some of the weaknesses of the school system, is interwoven with the motif of a daughter and father, who each listen to similar music and live similar rebellious ideas during their teenage years. The text thus reveals some unfriendly constants in social reality, but also the persistence and vitality of ideas that oppose such tendencies, and along the way encourages reflection on the dilemmas of former rebels who become parents of rebellious adolescents.
