Story
Expelled, driven from home by The Writer Munir, who had to leave everything close to him, from culture and social environment to friends and acquaintances, and move to an environment that, although it accepted him, was never truly open-handed and pure-hearted, and which was so very different from what was familiar to him, finds himself in a situation where he is no longer able to shake off his feelings of anxiety and fear. He is haunted by mysterious, gloomy dreams. Therefore, he decides to travel to a remote island in the North Sea and there ponder whether he has reached a dead end and might be capable of extreme action ... but after a few days on the island, the magnificent power of nature and the simple gestures of rare-word locals slowly return him the will to live …

Zgodba
Izgnani, od doma pregnani pisatelj Munir, ki je moral zapustiti vse, kar mu je bilo blizu, od kulture in družbenega okolja do prijateljev in znancev, ter se preseliti v okolje, ki ga je sicer sprejelo, a nikoli resnično odprtih rok in čistega srca, in ki je bilo tako zelo drugačno od njemu znanega, se znajde v položaju, ko se nikakor ne zmore več otresti občutkov tesnobe in strahu. Preganjajo ga skrivnostne, mračne sanje. Zato se odloči, da bo odpotoval na oddaljeni otok v Severnem morju in tam premislil, ali je zašel v slepo ulico in bi bil morda zmožen skrajnega dejanja … A po nekaj dneh na otoku mu veličastna moč narave in preproste geste redkobesednih domačinov počasi vrnejo voljo do življenja …
