Description: When Petar returns home to civilian life after his two - year conscription in the ex - Yugoslavian army he finds himself adrift. Even amidst the most raucous late - night parties he feels detached from it all like a ghost haunting the living. But a serendipitous encounter with Liza a dancer with a joie de vivre about her brings a flood of vibrant colour into his gray life. Their lyrical romance forms an oasis in a bleak world until his inner demons start to reveal themselves. A heartfelt character study this graphic novel paints the portrait of a complex protagonist often at odds with himself. At times Petar writes soulful life - affirming poetry while at others he falls into spells of depression and self - destruction. Petar & Liza is a work of meticulous expressionism that reflects Miroslav Sekulic - Struja's vivid artistic vision.

He paints a world in darkness and turmoil in which rays of sunshine occasionally peek through.
