Blue Pills

An emotional love story from Frederik Peeters, one of the most important names in contemporary European comics.

In this work, which has received great attention and awards in the countries where it was published, Peeters uses a delicate language to tell the story of his meeting with a young woman and their love. This is a slightly unusual love because the woman and her five-year-old son are HIV positive, and the boy has to swallow blue pills every day to fight the disease. But when you think about it, maybe all loves are a bit unusual. Peeters, who searches for his way between moments of doubt and glimmers of hope, finds himself in an inner questioning as he re-imagines his daily lives according to the three of them.

With a heartfelt tone and emotionally charged illustrations, this autobiographical work is an honest story about the joy of living, loving, and hoping.
