== Contents ==
''Phil'' is seventeen years old, has a twin sister ''(Dianne)'', a best friend ''(Kat)'', a slightly crazy mother ''(Glass)'' with constantly changing male relationships and is in love – with Nicholas. The story does not primarily treat Phil's homosexuality, but rather stresses the difficulties he has to cope with in everyday life.
With his mother and his sister, Phil lives in a huge mansion called 'Visible' which is located slightly remote from their city. The city's inhabitants barely have contact with this weird family. The main exception to this is Phil's best friend Kat, the daughter of their school's principal, who repeatedly violates her parents' interdiction of visiting Phil. Another important person is the lawyer Tereza, who is friends with the family and acts as a kind of mentor to Phil.
The story depicts the past of the family through emotional anecdotes, particularly through stories about the no longer existent father, an uncle as a compensating father figure and childhood memories of Phil and Dianne. Episodes in the presence deal with Phil's love for Nicholas, conversations with his mentor and disputes between his sister and his mother. The story is written in the first-person perspective.
