'The taste of cherries... coolness... the fresh smell of the river... so we lived in a hollow among the hills, sheltered from the storm, away from the world, as if on an island friendly and cozy. And then... Then everything changed..."So begins the graphic novel 'Three Shadows'. It is based on the real story of the author's friends. This is a heart-wrenching, metaphorical and very delicate story about the loss of a child, but with a truly bright, wise and kind ending. Cyril Pedroza shows the reader the emotions and experiences that people can experience in such a situation. When you read a comic book, it seems that the author is close by and holds your hand, helping you to experience and comprehend what is happening together. A close-knit family-Louis, his wife Lisa and their young son Joaquin-lives in a small house away from the hustle and bustle. They are absolutely happy and enjoy every new day spent together. Until three shadows appear on the hill. Three horsemen. At first, they just stand there and watch, disappearing and reappearing. But then, right in the middle of the night, they find themselves on the doorstep and almost kidnap Joaquin. Then the parents realize that the horsemen have come for their son, to take him away forever... With a broken heart, the mother tries to find comfort from the local witch, but the father flatly refuses to give up! He tries to escape, to take his son as far away as possible, hoping that in the far reaches of the Shadows will not be able to find them. But the Shadows are fate itself.
