She is assigned to Mueller as her legal guardian. Mueller is an immoral, disreputable German criminal lawyer and scholar of criminal law. He is disconnected from the rest of the world and himself. He is unable to feel emotional commitment and feels nothing when his best friend, Carsten (a former UN soldier stationed at Srebrenica), commits suicide. Through Fatima’s reminiscences and their conflicted relationship Mueller learns about the events that lead up to the genocide, 1992-1995. Mueller reads Carsten’s suicide note as well as the diary entries detailing the genocide. He fantasizes about suing for justice for what happened.

And his neighbor is so hot that Elvis can get a suntan by just looking at her. Elvis is a loner who has no chance with girls, an inventor whose inventions don’t work and a babysitter whose children have to be babysat. His seemingly simple life is turned upside down when his mom announces that he will be losing his job.

Janca Vidner, a regular teenage girl, is yearning for normal things teenagers yearn – Levi’s jeans, for records of world-renowned musicians, for things not accessible at home but available right across the Austrian border.
