This new world is made up of different colors, gravity is upside down and the inhabitants barely reach the 10-year-old's chest. Can Dominique's new companion bring light into the darkness? And is it possible that entire universes exist right under our noses without us being able to perceive them? Or did Dominique just dream it all?

Not only because it was perverted and stained with blood during the Nazi era, but also because it is assigned to a world that no longer exists for us."

An authentic coming-of-age novel - also for adults - that sensitively and with a tragicomic touch depicts what are probably the most formative years in a person's life.
