Work-Life Balance

An edgy portrait about finding work-life balance.

To achieve the right work-life balance, perhaps we just need the right therapist to accompany us in our daily lives. But finding him or her is not so easy. The protagonists of this amazing graphic novel, Anita, Sandra and Dex, have ambitions, innovative ideas and yet are extremely disillusioned with their work. As the pressure mounts and in an attempt to better themselves they end up in Dr. Sharifi’s office. Soon the boundaries between work and life begin to blur and finding a balance seems an increasingly difficult task.

All the positivity of the confrontation with the therapist that the three expect is overshadowed by her quirks, tantrums, and self-referentiality, leading to sessions peppered with hilarious carelessness, which in fact leads to no real growth. With striking colors and quirky narrative sequences, Aisha Franz captures the comic absurdity of contemporary culture struggling to find the impossible balance between work life and personal well-being.
