Beautiful sepia drawings set the mood for this haunting glimpse of what it's like to be a stranger in an unfamiliar land. The images evoke moods in which you begin to experience what the immigrant feels while the pictures transport you from home and all that is familiar to a new land where nothing is familiar - not the foods, not the languages, not the currency, not even the animals and especially not the cultures. Yet underlying it all the immigrant begins to find the basic human connections that begin to make the new land home.
