France in the late 1950s. The death of their father brings Fabio and Giovanni together for the first time in ten years. In a tiny Fiat 500, the mismatched brothers set off for Italy to transfer their father's ashes to his homeland. Their journey is filled with tension, silence, and memories. With every kilometer they travel towards Italy and each other, the portrait of their father becomes clearer. This intensifies the sense of those unspoken events that divided the brothers many years ago. In his award-winning graphic novel, French author and illustrator Alfred takes his readers on a time travel journey to fascist Italy with Fabio and Giovanni, exploring the complexity of human relationships. "Come prima" ("As Before") is both an entertaining and touching road movie.
