Summary
:
Ali, Kwita, Omar and Boubker are homeless children
living in the streets. They have been living in
the dock ever since they left Dib and his gang
because Ali wanted to leave; he wanted to become
a sailor and cruise around the world.
A strong and everlasting friendship binds these
four kids. Unfortunately, Ali is quickly killed
during a confrontation with Dib's gang. The three
kids could have forgotten anything ever happened
and abandoned Ali after bringing his body back
to the dock; instead, they decided to bury their
friend. like a prince. "Because he might have
lived like shit but he won't be buried like shit."
The three kids will then live a journey full of
encounters which will enable them to bring their
friend's dream to life: find the island with two
suns. Little by little, this dream will turn into
a quest and will become their dream, then all
the children's dream.
