In his Son's Footsteps

Publisher Calmann-Lévy
COLLECTION Calmann-Lévy graphic
Age All Ages
A graphic adaptation of a true story: the coming-of-age journey of a father and son on horseback along the roads of Kyrgyzstan.

Renaud and his son Tom don't get each other anymore. Teenage Tom seems to be sliding down a slippery slope: failing grade, violence, drugs… Convinced his son needs to break away from this toxic environment, Renaud suggests they embark upon an extraordinary adventure: crossing the steppes of Kyrgyzstan on horseback. But for Tom, this is far from a fantasy come true. His father’s absence over the years has curdled into a lot of anger that's just waiting to explode. Over the next three months, they each work towards separate goals. For Renaud, it's reaching out to his son. And for Tom, it's getting to know his dad and figuring out the adult he wants to become.
