Four homeless 12-year-old boys break away from a larger street gang and spend 
their days living by a port. 
Ali Zaoua is the strangest of the quartet, 
who often speaks of sailing off to a distant island lit by two suns. The 
boys' former gang locates them and, as punishment for their defection, pelts 
them with rocks. The attack kills 
Ali, leaving the boys to provide him a 
funeral fit for a prince.
