Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A wordless graphic novel by Shaun Tan about a nameless immigrant in a strange land. Drawn in beautiful hyper-realism, the book incorporates fantastical landscapes and an invented alphabet to convey the confusions of a new place and unfamiliar language.No relation to either the 1996 film with Charlie Sheen in the lead role, or the better-known 2016 film Arrival, headlined by Amy Adams.

An Immigrant's Tale: The story follows an immigrant struggling to learn the ways of his new land, with the twist that the place he's immigrating to (and the one he's immigrating from) isn't at all real.

Empathy Pet: A common feature for the citizens of the Immigrants' new city, as many of the people we see are accompanied by whimsical-looking fantasy creatures. The protagonist soon picks up one of his own.
