A graphic novel in which the harsh reality of feelings is perfectly mixed with a fantastic and mysterious story.
What happens inside us when someone we love dies? Lamia, a smart and strong girl, will experience it on her own skin. She’s very attached to her old dog Otto and to her neighbor Marzia, so when they both die, one shortly after the other, she will have to face a very difficult moment.
From that moment on, weird things start happening around her: the street lights starts trembling, her backyard is filled with sudden noises and scary shadows. The presence of her new neighbor, Michele, complicates things even more.
How will Lamia, together with her friend Lu, deal with all this?
