Čedo is 45. He is homeless, an alcoholic and drug addict with no legal income. His mother is a Croat and his father is a Montenegrin. His father lost his life in a bizarre accident: while jumping off a train, he ran into a lamp post and died. At the time of his father’s death, Čedo was 16 months old and his troubles were yet to begin. At the age of 12 he started to drink. At 16, he was diagnosed with alcoholism. Although a Catholic, baptised by Franciscan monks, he and his mother were harassed because of their family name in the 1990s. Čedo’s first name was not very popular either. The 1990s also saw him becoming addicted to heroin. Čedo Šaraba and a few of his mates agreed to tell their life stories.
