Matthias d’Ogremonont, a Parisian trapped in the constant bustle of the city, decides to register in a digital detoxification course.

For ten days in the middle of nature, without telephone or computer, he faces the disconnection of his usual world. Experience forces him to confront his fears and frustrations, discovering that true transformation is not only digital, but emotional. Slowing, Matthias learns to find inner peace and enhance the essentials in his life.

With Prologue by Diego García Rouco.

The frenetic rhythm of modern life

Matthias d’Ogremonont is a Parisian trapped in the dizzying rhythm of urban life. Its existence revolves around the constant connection: mobile phone, virtual meetings, incessant notifications. Live under the pressure of always available, always busy, always running.

Without space for himself, timeless to stop, Matthias is part of a system that consumes him, until, in an impulse of despair, he decides to take a radical step towards disconnection.

In an unexpected turn, Matthias is part of a digital detoxification course. This course promises to offer you a breath of chaos, a space to move away from haste, stress and technology. With the hope of finding something beyond his connected life, he embarked on a journey to the unknown: a ten -day stay in full nature, where the digital world has not placed.

After reaching the campaign, Matthias faces an environment completely foreign to his usual world. Ten days without a computer, without a phone, without work, without the distractions that define it. Nature, so far away from its accelerated rhythm, becomes a challenge for its patience and expectations.

What seemed to be a repair break quickly becomes an internal battle. The resistance is immediate: anxiety not to be available, the desire to resume control, the discomfort of a slower life. This is only the beginning of its transformation process.

The internal struggle: losses and fears

In this new context, Matthias experiences what many fear but few do they dare: the disconnection not only of the screens, but also of the emotional and psychological emergencies that define our modern existence. What happens when we deprive ourselves of things that normally fill our gaps?

The loss of orientation and frustration is inevitable. Anger and fear emerge strongly. Without the constant validation of the digital world, Matthias has to face what he has avoided for years: his thoughts and emotions.

While the days advance, Matthias begins to understand something he had forgotten: the need to stop. The disconnection is not only a digital exercise, but an invitation to slow down the mind and rediscover the essentials. In the quiet of nature, he begins to perceive the calm that was previously foreign to him.

Frustration gives way to a gradual acceptance of slowness. He begins to understand that time does not stop for him, but that his life can take a new rhythm if he decides to give space to calm down.

The way to acceptance

Détox not only says a journey to technological disconnection, but a process of deepening of oneself. Through the forced cleanliness of his accelerated life, Matthias begins to question what really matters.

In a world that appreciates speed, immediacy and constant connectivity, comics invites us to reflect on what happens when we decide to deactivate artificial emergencies. What fears arise when we stop being available? What remains when we are alone?

At the end of his journey, Matthias not only manages to disconnect from technology, but also begins to understand that the real challenge does not reside in what surrounds us, but in the way we relate to ourselves. Nature offers an invaluable lesson on patience, introspection and acceptance. In immobility, Matthias discovers that, deceiving, it can find what really matters: inner peace.
