Eine eher düstere Geschichte, die sich in einer Wohnung in einem populären Quartier in Kairo abspielt. Die visuelle Umsetzung in grün und schwarz hat es in sich. In ganz unterschiedlichen Stilen geben die Bilder der Geschichte Gestalt. Manchmal wie ein Gedicht selber, manchmal skizzenhaft, dann wieder wie ein klassischer Comic. Ein beeindruckendes visuelles Gedicht! cn
