Orphan Florin has grown up in the city, where he lives with a kind old lady called Elvira Schirra. He’s never been to school or joined any sports clubs. Nobody knows he exists. He doesn’t have a birth certificate or a passport, let alone health insurance, and he doesn’t even have a surname. When Elvira disappears unnoticed – just as he himself came into the world unnoticed – twelve-year-old Florin roams the city alone. But this doesn’t go unnoticed for long. Finally he escapes to the countryside and is taken in by a real family. He goes to school and starts making friends. But then something incredible happens during an extraordinary meteor shower. Ever since that day, Florin and his friends have been keeping a big secret. It is not until Florin is an old man lying on his deathbed that he tells his extraordinary life story and reveals his secret to an old people’s nurse called Mila. He asks her to take care of an ancient rhinoceros. But is his story true?

An exciting novel for young people, with a sprinkling of magic, about the power of deeply held desires, the power of love, and the difficult path to self-discovery.

Some meetings are only brief, but make a deep impression that lasts a lifetime.

These are the moments of true magic.

Extraordinary people never live ordinary lives.
