ABOUT/vsebina:
A HIJACKED PLANE TAKES DOWN AT THE RIGA AIRPORT. THE HIJACKER EXPLAINS HIS CHOICE OF THE LOCATION: “IN THEORY IT COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN EITHER TALLINN OR VILNIUS BUT I LIKE NAMES THAT CONTAIN THE LETTER ‘R’. IN CASES LIKE MINE IT IS NOT SO IMPORTANT TO WHAT EXTENT DEMOCRACY HAS DEVELOPED IN A COUNTRY. THE THING THAT MATTERS IS EXPERIENCE IN FIGHTING TERRORISTS. MEETING WITH THE SECURITY FORCES OF COUNTRIES TO THE EAST OR THE WEST OF THE BALTIC REGION I WOULD HAVE HAD NO PROSPECTS AT ALL. HERE I HAVE HOPE.” THE TEN YEARS OLD BOY WHO IS TRAVELLING ON HIS OWN VOLUNTARILY BECOMES A HOSTAGE. ALONG WITH THE TRADITIONAL DEMANDS, THE HIJACKER ADDS THE DEMANDS OF THE LITTLE HOSTAGE – BEGINNING WITH SOME LOCAL CHOCOLATE AND A SELF INSTRUCTION TAPE FOR LEARNING THE NATIVE LANGUAGE, AND ENDING WITH ORGANIZING A SONG FESTIVAL AND A SPECIAL BIATHLETES PERFORMANCE – ALL IDEAS ORIGINATING FROM A CD ON LATVIA. BUT SOMEONE DECIDES TO USE SONG FESTIVAL AND BIATHLETES IN SOLVING THE HOSTAGE CRISES …
Ugrabljeno letalo pristane na letališču v Rigi. Ugrabitelj razlaga, zakaj je izbral Rigo: Teoretično bi bil lahko tudi Talin ali Vilnius. Meni pa so všeč imena na "R". V primerih, kot je moj, ni pomembno, kako dobro je razvita demokracija v državi. Pomembne so izkušnje s protiterorističnim bojem. Če bi imel opravka z varnostnimi silami držav vzhodno ali zahodno od Baltika, ne bi imel najmanjšega upanja. Tukaj pa imam vsaj upanje. Desetletni fant, ki potuje sam, prostovoljno postane ugrabiteljev talec. Ugrabitelj k svojim zahtevam (milijonov in možnosti, da svobodno leti drugam ) doda tudi zahteve malega talca. Začnejo se pri domači čokoladi in zgoščenki za učenje lokalnega jezika, končajo pa pri organiziranju Pevskega festivala in posebne predstave biatloncev. Vse te zamisli izvirajo iz reklamne brošure o Latviji, ki jo fant najde v letalu.
