Three families and a refugee simultaneously find themselves in a beautiful secluded bay surrounded by cliffs overgrown with bushes. However, this idyllic picture is shattered by two mysterious events: the sea waves wash a woman's corpse onto the shore, and everyone gathered on the beach begins to inexorably age... In this disturbing fantasy book, Frédéric Peters and Pierre-Oscar Lévy speak to the reader about the fear of aging and the inevitability of death.

'Sand Castle' was awarded the Töpffer Prize (2010) and nominated for the Angoulême International Comics Festival (2011). The book's plot is based on M. Night Shyamalan's film 'In Time' (2021).
