Comrade Ali is many people. A person from here and there, from this and that, who embodies the features of many, both together and individually. He tells a story, many stories, the stories of a city. Ali was touched by the dream of reaching the shore. It's as if he read the stories written by the port. He saw the ships he drew leaving it, propelled by hands extending from its small, successive windows; hands moving like wheels—the hands of men who don't watch the breaking waves so they won't rest, so they can return with large boxes and bags. And when they reach the port, their bodies relive the exhaustion.
