Waking up in Purgatory- a young woman is forced to take part in a lottery- which she wins. Unfortunately for her- since she has had enough of life- the prize is to return to the living world and continue her life from where she had left it- with one significant difference: this time- she can see and communicate with ghosts—her own included. Her dull- monotonous life carries on- though her profound solitude is now mitigated by the presence of the ghosts of the dead surrounding her- most notably her own. She discovers that living with her ghost has its advantages- with few disadvantages... All the Living is a meditation on monotony- hopelessness- and the absurdity of existence in the face of sadness and emptiness. Roman Muradov's graphic style- full of finesse and sensuality- quite literally draws us into his enchanting imagination. A parable — at the same time gentle- penetrating- and occasionally profane — that marks the return of a master of the modern graphic novel.
