- Synopsis
- With mesmeric drawings, My Brother tells of the warmth that flows between grief-stricken father and daughter, as well as the deep ties of family – strong enough to plunge the depths of the sea and backA sensitive portrayal of loss, My Brother is the story of a child whose brother emerges from the depths of the fjord on the end of her father&’s fishing line. Though grieving in different ways, the child and her father find comfort in remembering their brother and son together. Øyvind Torseter&’s wobbly line drawings and dark cross-hatched blotches sprawl across pages bathed in warm reds and oranges, melancholy blues, and hopeful greens. Accompanied by Torseter&’s captivating images, Laura Djupvik&’s poetic lines provide an opening for children and adults to talk about grief and the power of memory.
