Characters

The main character is the 19-year-old Petŕ Junek, a student, who is seeking a refuge from the stress with a female character referred to only as a "Star" (with a capital S). Star is a young woman which is described only in metaphors, at least through the eyes of Petŕ. Minor characters of the story are Petŕ's father (who remains unnamed), Petŕ's teacher (who also remains unnamed) and Petŕ's group of two friends (which are referred to only by nicknames Kurys and Globi, however, Kurys's surname was mentioned to be "Kuriáss").

Mentality

• Petŕ - Melancholic introverted 19-year-old, who struggles with school and has the tendency to give up a fight before it even begins
• Star - Female 19-year-old, described as spontaneus and highly likeable, however, she has the tendency to be highly responsible and extroverted
• Petŕ's father - Strict and conservative parent, who projects his own ideals onto Petŕ, even though Petŕ does not share his worldview
• Petŕ's teacher - Strict but fair old male, who seeks to push his students through the final exam, even though he realizes that some do not have the required skills
• Kurys & Grobi - Highly spontaneus extroverted 20-year-olds who share a hedonistic worldview
