A refugee couple from Smyrna wanders through Brussels in 1924.
A century later, their grandchild follows their traces and stumbles upon the last Greek café in Molenbeek, where old miners of many nations reflect on the fragile miracle of life.
The Tower of Babel, symbol of confusion but also togetherness. From the builders of Babel to the coal miners of Belgium, what truly separates people? Human vanity breeds division: alien words, ideas, religions.
A graphic novel about human pettiness while celebrating the enduring light of humanity.
The book uses both surreal and real historical elements to explore language, identity, and the shared experience of people from different lands, suggesting that diversity and multilingualism can be a source of richness rather than conflict.
