Irreparably unhappy yet extremely cheerful, Tijan Sila tells the story of a boy during the Bosnian War, his escape to Germany, and his life among German neo-Nazis in his turbulent debut novel "Tierchen unlimited." And about the pitfalls of memory. Sarajevo in the nineties: the city is under siege. How does a child experience war? Comic trading is made difficult by the hail of grenades, electricity for playing computer games is constantly scarce, and American soldiers can only be persuaded to play basketball with stolen adult magazines.

After a disturbing escape in a bus, the boy arrives in Rhineland-Palatinate with his family. His new friends are.
