An incredible 220-page wordless comic graphic novel about man's restless nature. Well told and universal.
From the publisher:
The grass is always greener elsewhere? A man, in his forties, married, two children, leads a well-ordered life of little mechanical routines in a large western city, by the sea. One day, he is attracted by the maritime horizon that emerges between two buildings ...
On a whim, he sets sail, and he takes a ticket on a ship to leave. Elsewhere. Far away. Alas, this boat is caught in a violent storm. The only survivor, he is shipwrecked on an island. There he discovers a very special community that lives in harmony caused by drugs that make "happy", a priori. He will share this chemical harmony until the day he forgets to take his pills and regains his free will. He decides to run away again ...
