Patrick and Alex are brothers. They live on either side of a small coastal valley near Cape Town. On Patrick’s side is an abandoned glass furnace which he uses as a secret underground studio. Alex works from the stairwell of a lighthouse. Every so often the brothers gather their respective cartoon ideas and wade to the middle of the marsh that divides the valley in two. Then over a flask of minestrone soup they discuss their ideas. Once they’ve sorted the good ones from the bad, Patrick goes back to his furnace to draw them and Alex lingers in the marsh until it gets dark.
