Description
Set in suburban Montreal during the 1970s, this spare and deeply personal graphic novel follows an introverted teenager who struggles to communicate with his family, friends, and the girls drawn to him. Though he longs for connection, his fear of intimacy and inability to express affection repeatedly leave him retreating into silence, imagination, and drawing. Rendered in deceptively simple artwork with minimal dialogue, the story explores adolescence, alienation, desire, family tension, and the painful distance between feeling deeply and speaking openly. Its restrained, autobiographical style transforms ordinary teenage encounters into a haunting portrait of emotional isolation and self-discovery.
