Hardback. Condizione: New. Animation director Jonathan Djob Nkondo (Scavenger's Reign, Gorillaz) tells a melancholy tale of life in a space-faring future. Set in a sleek satellite home orbiting Earth, Peaceful Remission follows elderly couple Marlène and Jerry Nomo, whose quiet life is disrupted by a mysterious nighttime rumble. But the real tension lies not in the noise but in Marlène's simmering frustration with Jerry's passivity.The incident becomes a catalyst for emotional confrontation, revealing the cracks in their long-standing relationship. When Jerry's obsession with a recent discovery leaves Marlene responsible for his health and well-being, their seemingly ordinary tasks-shopping, driving, caregiving-are refracted through a surreal, futuristic lens, emphasizing the emotional weight of routine and the quiet heroism of unspoken love.Encapsulating themes of conjugal fatigue, silent devotion, and the illusion of tranquility, this surreal, contemplative work is told through clean, futuristic interiors contrasted with intimate character framing. In this fragmented yet lyrical tale that alternates between dialogue and silent observation, Jonathan Nkondo uses the sterile calm of space as a metaphor for emotional distance, crafting a story that feels both timeless and eerily current.
