Frederik Peeters, the author of "Lupus" and "Koma" is back with an amazing comic book where the fantasy seems that dominates everything. A story that tells how a young woman goes to the hospital where her husband, who has suffered an accident and ends up lost in the corridors of the same, full of characters, each more bizarre.

The story is set in the Geneva of the 50's and precisely in a most picturesque place, a hospital with art-deco interior beautifully drawn and colored in vivid hues that give this story of a relief and a very particular.

In some aspects of that hospital, Carice Sorrel will most unusual encounters from a strange air of a dandy surgeon to dark spy affair.

As in the work of David Lynch not come to fully understand the plot, but it is impossible not to succumb less fascinated by the blend of absurd, eerie and surreal, but above all to the visual beauty of a color drawings and overwhelming in a story full of literary and film references that reassures Frederik Peeters as one of the most interesting writers today.
