Britain, 1851. The triumph of human genius is the first World Exhibition. But this is only the facade of the "workshop of the world." Behind it hides the world of secret cults, mental disorders, pursuit of sophisticated pleasures, constant humiliation and sexual slavery. Jennifer and Kitamakura are two victims of this world. The first is from a rich family with an impeccable reputation. The second is an unknown Japanese woman, it is not clear how it ended up in London. The exhibition brutally pushed them. They do not know each other's language, but they were united by the tragedy - the death of children trampled by a hypocritical Victorian society, where arrogant men rule. Two angry women challenge the empire. Now they are death!

A phenomenally inventive, tough, provocative graphic novel-even by the standards of the Franco-Belgian comic book school, where the boundaries of freedom of creativity are as wide as possible. MHI, an artist of this naturalistic erotic costume saga, received for his extraordinary work the oldest and most prestigious award for European comics-Prix Saint-Michel.
