"We were probably the last generation for a long time that still played war, the next ones actually fought in wars,“ once wrote Sebastian, later read by his school mate Klaus. The Third World War began in 2031 and lasted 10 years. The war left its mark on everyone, just as it left its mark on Sebastian, the protagonist of the story, who will never appear on stage himself.
