Abir Gasmi

Point Zero is a contemplative graphic novel that follows the journey of a solitary explorer who roams the Sahara in search of black crickets that he believes will be the cause of an immanent cataclysm. As he tries to track these creatures to their source, he gradually realizes that he has come face-to-face with the apocalypse. Imashek, the desert spirit, tries to convince him to give up the hunt. «Everything comes to an end» he says. It takes the explorer some time to understand that every end brings a new beginning.
