Viktor Jelen believes naively in universal justice and the kind hand of fate. As a trainee on a daily newspaper he edits the light-news column, collecting bizarre items that prove strange things do not happen only to him. He is convinced he was made for great achievements that will change more than his own life, but each time his moment seems to have come, reality has other plans: his efforts bear fruit, just not the fruit he wanted. Stubborn and optimistic, he gets up after every fall, and his waking life mixes with dreams that hint at where his odd path is leading.
