The life, loves and impulses are being investigated by Tina Modotti da questa bella biografia a fumetti in cui il giovane Paolo Cossi, promettente matita friulana, mette a fuoco la fascinosa Tina.Cossi possiede una scrittura fumettisticamente accattivante, dove si alternano diverse tecniche narrative e dove il gradevole tratto, sempre in bilico tra realismo e deformazione umoristica, ben si accompagna alla narrazione. Qua e là si scopre la suggestione che l’arte fotografica praticata da Tina ha su Cossi: Tina Modotti ha utilizzato la fotografica come strumento di indagine e di denuncia sociale, Paolo Cossi usa il fumetto come strumento di indagine nella memoria del Novecento, indagine che ci fa incontrare il grande fotografo Edwar Weston, la pittrice Frida Kahlo e mille altri personaggi che hanno incrociato la loro strada con to Tina.
