Do Women Tattoo Their Genitals

ghost hunters

A child betrayed by a friend, a history of child abuse where violence is not shown, and then seems even more horrible. And then the story of his struggle to find and, eventually, metaphorically kill the ghost of his past in a narrative sequence taken place simultaneously, which seems to flow directly from his fears intimate, seemingly unfiltered.
The child is the writer of this beautiful balloon, while the monster is a priest, and unfortunately it is not surprising. A sensitive and prudent
screenplay, which respects both pain and anger, without falling into that ever pathetic that so often characterizes the negative autobiographies drawn. Ispiratissimo Alfred, the artist who translated the story in pictures: his characters are made with simple strokes and funny illustrations for children, but are surrounded by contrast in a sometimes overwhelming and almost alien, to remind us again what the great potential of this medium. To read and reread.
