About the series
In this two-issue Dupuis miniseries from 2006–2007, writer Fabien Vehlmann and artist Frédéric Boilet craft a quiet, introspective story set in a near-future where a mysterious sleeping sickness grips a small French town. The narrative follows a young woman as she navigates the blurred line between waking life and the collective dream state that overtakes the community. Known for Boilet's delicate, realistic ligne claire style and Vehlmann's subtle, character-driven storytelling, the series offers a thoughtful meditation on isolation and shared experience. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, atmospheric entry in early 2000s European comics.
