Tony Duver believed that children and adults are two tribes who declared war on each other. This war is on an island in the Atlantic Ocean, where boys from 7 to 14 years old create secret anarchist detachments. Who robs the villas of the rich? Why did the harmless old woman die? When you experience a boundless rush of disgust, longing and fear, there is a crazy, absurd desire to steal. The Old Man's Carnival was disgusting to Duver. "These bruised, rumpled, lowered, half-dead, pathetic creatures try on a mask, voice, beliefs and, despite wigs, false jaws, light and slender clothes, imitate the freedom and freshness that they try to strangle and destroy in those who are younger." But young residents of the Atlantic Island are also merciless. The weak are doomed, the wild boys win.
