"An allegory of the human spirit, Tu Et Moi depicts the infliction of and rebellion against distress." Ariel Quain has grown up in the slums skirting the streets of artistic, early-century Paris. It has become habit to name the countless rats and kick the moldy pine that constitutes the demeaning tenements in which Ariel lives. Poverty is difficult, yet survivable; that is until the poor girl's relationships crumble to pieces and Hitler begins to storm the streets of the slums. Tu Et Moi depicts the horror of the world and the tyrants that inhabit it. It depicts the terror of war in times of pre-existing hardship. It depicts the struggle to love in a world that cannot.
