A bittersweet portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, steeped in the difficulties of becoming an adult in a stultifying Southern Europe society, where the past matters more than the future -- a society that has little use for its young. However, the discourse of Tear along the dotted line is way more personal than political, and it's full of straight-faced humour and wild imagination, fast paced and with almost no sentimental excesses. After watching it, you'll want to read all the comic books.
