The bestselling eco-thriller in a graphic novel format

Petri Tolppanen’s wonderful adaptation of Risto Isomäki’s novel and Jussi Kaakinen’s artful animation make this important story to come alive in a completely new way.

In Sands of Sarasvati Indian and Russian marine scientists are investigating mysteri- ous underwater ruins that were, also in the real world, discovered along the West Coast of India, in the bay of Cambay in May 2001. In the novel, these underwater ruins are used as a parallel to what might soon happen to many costal cities in Europe and america.

Winner of the Sarjakuva-Finlandia Prize 2009!
