Nico Bonomolo

A man goes to work, sees a boat for sale. He dreams of a life to leave behind. He leaves, the dream gives way to memory, the mistral forces him to a landing of fortune. A woman, another story, a new beginning? As in an Escher drawing, everything starts again where it seemed to have ended up

Set in fascist Sicily, a shadow puppet performer is confined to a lonely island with a lighthouse for making fun of Mussolini -- until he's redeemed and rescued by a fortuitous event. Bonomolo renders this timely tale in black and white 2D with hints of storybook illustration and rotoscopy.
