The experimental graphic novel was published in French by Presque Lune Éditions, France (2014). This hardcover French version can be purchased at the main bookstores in French-speaking countries or directly from the publisher.
The work explores the strength of dreams and the impact that a paranoid mother has on the imagination of her seven-year-old daughter. This is a story where we see the landscapes and the words and thoughts of the characters, but we do not see their bodies. This is a short graphic narrative that reveals an old family secret.
