About Toodles Galore and Spike


"Almost all our pain comes from our inability to be alone in the room."

—Pascal (France)

The sound of rustling echoes the rustling desolation...

The monotony of every day,

The repetitions of every day.

Will life always be like this? Life is just like this…

For Tudogallo and Spike, the occasional encounter breaks the long loneliness. Through that corridor and that door, they will face a new beginning. But will it be easy to take that first step? What will be waiting for them once they have walked out?
