The comic book
The eldest of four children, Pauline has difficulty finding her place in her family. She dreams of taking off on a boat and running away from her overcrowded house. Fortunately, she has built herself a secret hiding place in her house. A quiet place, where she brings all her precious possessions.
There, Pauline can give free rein to her imagination, deeply fed by her readings. She imagines dozens of wonderful places where she is as free as a bird.
With a story that emphasizes the importance of finding one’s place in the world, Mahiout and Perreten create a universe filled with reverie, sensitivity and tenderness. A poignant comic book about loneliness, freedom and autonomy.
