If Fantasia was an inky graphic novel exploring friendship in middle age, nostalgia for a carefree youth, and the dangers of clinging to the past.
At times fantastical and bizarre, Baitinger's fluid and amorphous cartooning is in a league of its own.
Off to indulge in a bit of boyhood fun, Dietz--a family man in his 40s, judo teacher, and civil engineer--carves out the time in his busy life to go on a road trip with his childhood friend, Volker--a sticky-fingered musician, who's just caught a cold.
Their destination is Leipzig, where they'll visit the third chum in their trio, Acki--a punk squatter who they've largely lost touch with, except for calls on birthdays and holidays. You know how it goes...
A comedy of errors and quest narrative, upon arriving in Leipzig, the two are still missing one crucial piece of information: Acki's new address. As our mismatched pair tromp through the city in search of their missing friend, who won't answer his phone, we're brought on a wholly imaginative journey with fluid lines that transport us from hotel, to bar, to museum with equal parts elegance and absurdity.
