We help everyone, not just those you like. That's one of the strict rules of the centuries-old Ministry of Solutions, which anonymously solves other people's problems. But in practice, that rule is not easy for an eleven-year-old. Because the Ministry wants to solve Ralf's problems, and Ralf is such an unpleasant and angry boy that Nina does not want to help him. Ralf is also a boy who is stuck in his parents' conflicting divorce. Things go bad at school, he hits children on the football field and his only friend wants him to steal things. The members of the Ministry, Alfa, Ruben, the old ladies Mrs Vis and Tirza, decide that they have to help him. And Nina? Nina participates. Reluctantly.
