My neighbour is a dog
This is a story about neighbours and the relationships between them. About expectations and prejudice. About the idea we have of ourselves and about discovering the other.

About territories and borders, about spaces and identities. About that particular adventure of sharing a dividing wall with others… about neighbours, therefore.
