Onion Skin is a twisty, psychedelic tale of lion-girls, chance, delicious herbs, and warring food trucks. The story follows Rolando — recently unemployed and searching for purpose. When he meets Nera, the universe splits and we’re launched into past/present/future tense as the two set off on their shared adventure to spice up life.
“An onion’s not like an apple. You can’t just bite into one by itself. The onion serves to season and enhance the flavor of other foods. I guess sometimes people are like onions.”
Read if you enjoy: atmospheric artwork, non-linear narrative, and strongly developed characters grappling with themes like burnout, depression, and isolation.
