Noémie is 18 years old when she falls ill. A brilliant and funny art student, she burns the candle at both ends, with joy and anticipation... until her body throws everything back in her face. A fight ensues between her and her cancer - set against the backdrop of Beirut, its madness, its multiculturalism, and its inimitable character.
A unique, autobiographical project and vivid portrait of Lebanese youth.
"All of my lips stuck together. Literally, all of them... My other orifices as well. But I'll spare you those drawings."
THE ART IN THIS IS FUCKING GORGEOUS!! Fan-fucking-tastic use of color pencils!! I'm in awe. The story was interesting and kept me engaged though a little hard to follow at times.
I'll definitely be looking for more of this artists work in the future!!
