Poisson à pattes

Poisson à pattes – Bastien, a young man torn between his loyalty to his father and his thirst for knowledge, lives in a world where intellectual curiosity is synonymous with witchcraft. It is with Sidonie, whom the villagers suspect of having signed a pact with the Devil, that he shares the most chemistry. If Bastien asks himself so many questions, it is also because he is trying to unravel the mystery of his own origins.

Poisson à pattes is the result of seven years of work during which Blonk’s unique visual style has been refined and perfected. But what’s most surprising is how relevant the author’s concerns still are. This sharply pessimistic story reminds us of the cruelty that humanity is capable of when it comes up against the limits of its own understanding. Poisson à pattes is a tragic fable whose timeless issues seem more relevant than ever.
