This book from the independent publishing house Pato Lógico, with illustrations by Nicolau and text by Ricardo Henriques, is loosely inspired by the classic film Rear Window (1954), directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly.
Attentive readers might spot a creative restlessness and a quiet tribute to Hal Pereira, the art director who often worked with Hitchcock.
Graça, the main character of this story, enjoys watching people.
Told with warm colors, a touch of mystery, and a bit of international intrigue, the story follows Graça as she starts to suspect that her neighbor in apartment 1.º direito is planning a robbery. Could it be true?
Along the way, we get to know the lives of the people in the building across the street: the regulars at Café Dias, a musician who plays concerts for the neighbors, a misunderstood photographer, and more.
Who’s watching whom? We’ll only find out at the end of the investigation.
