The first album by the creator of Always Never/Malgré tout and the writer-artist team on Les Beaux Etes.
This wonderful whimsical heartbreaking story, is visually told, with outstanding draftsmanship. It is a showcase of Lafebre's masterful ability to draw facial expressions and body language to convey subtle emotions.
From the publisher:
In a small village, the people share the joys and sorrows of everyday life. So when Camille, a simple-minded young wife, loses her just born baby girl Lydie, and imagines the baby is alive and she is caring for it, all the people support her and humor her delusion. Better a lie than a pretty ugly truth, they all think. But how long can it last and how will it end?
Résumé:
Avez-vous déjà entendu parler de "l'impasse du bébé à moustache" ? Ne cherchez pas ce bout de rue sur un plan, vous perdriez votre temps ! Seuls Zidrou et Jordi Lafebre peuvent vous y conduire ! Les habitants de l'impasse, les "moustachus", partagent les joies et les peines du quotidien sous le regard d'une statuette de madone à l'enfant Jésus. Alors quand Camille, jeune femme simple d'esprit, perd sa petite Lydie tout juste née, tous les habitants la soutiennent. Ils sont solidaires à nouveau lorsque Camille leur annonce le retour miraculeux de sa petite fille. Mieux vaut un joli mensonge qu'une vilaine vérité, pensent-ils tous. Seulement qu'arrive-t-il quand la vérité reprend ses droits ?
