Description
Teresa's life has been a carefully planned trajectory, with every goal achieved in its designated time. Her prestigious scholarship to help mount an exhibition in Berlin is the latest milestone. Ruben, a fellow young Italian who never finished his art studies, views Berlin as his playground. When they meet, their lives will forever change. Their paths converge in 1990s Berlin, where Teresa and Ruben embark on a passionate yet tormented love affair. Set against the backdrop of two eras - one marked by the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt and the other by the vibrant energy of 1990s Berlin - their story is intertwined with the hypericum, or St John's wort, a plant with unusual properties. This graphic novel is a masterful exploration of how time shapes our lives and the bonds that form between us.
