The short story is part of the Baieti de gasca (Troopers) volume published by Polirom in Romanian in 2005. The volume features loud and busy teenagers caught in funny and surprising situations as they live in today?s Romania or on more distant shores. A tinge of gravity is always added to this mix of sparky youthfulness.
