In this illustrated graphic memoir, Théa Rojzman decides to confront the father figure to overcome her childhood doubts and anxieties. Through her expressive graphics, she depicts the anger and the fears that undermined her family and the society she grew up in. As a child, she hated her father, author Charles Rojzman, because of his violent manner and his absence. Himself the child of Holocaust survivors, he spent Théa’s whole childhood fighting injustice around the world and trying to face his own demons. As Théa grows up and confronts her own fears, she starts to better understand her father. Father and daughter eventually come to work together to understand the hatred that has grown between them and try to build reconciliation, between themselves and among others.
