1964. An ordinary French family. Pierre-François, Jean-Christophe and Florence frolic around, explore the world, listen to their father's Bible stories at dinner, and read Jules Verne books with their mother before going to bed. But suddenly, trouble happens. The older brother, Jean-Christophe, develops epilepsy. The disease changes the life of the whole family, which begins to go around the circle of doctors, resorts to alternative medicine, even lives in a microbiotic farm."
This event became the basis for David Beauchamp's autobiographical novel «Undercloud Disaster».
The author's graphic style combines expression, imagery, and a dynamic plot. The more complex the feelings of the narrator, i.e. Pierre-François, become, the more expressive and large-scale the drawings become. The boy is fond of war. He imagines himself an outstanding warrior who is able to defeat the monster that constantly attacks his brother. The reader will watch as Pierre-François outgrows childish cruelty, faces death, and grows up, choosing not only a new name but also a new path in life. In the end, this is a story about love for one's family, which should be cherished and nurtured, because some feelings and relationships are irreplaceable.
