No larger than a pebble, a snail contains a world as simple as it is mysterious.

Alan Wayne Berti - born in South Africa, a former war zone para commando - never thought he would be interested in something so small and seemingly insignificant. Yet one day his daughter showed him a snail cupped in her hands. "Dad, shall we play at making a snail farm?" It was a light bulb moment for Alan: what if it wasn’t just a dream or a fancy? As he gradually gets to know them, the snails actually teach him something.

In short, these little animals become his key to rediscover a new, happier and more ‘authentic’ way of looking at life.
