The story features a nautical pamphlet and travels for two decades, transporting sea-devoured men and sea-devoured women through the significant or insignificant voyages of life, from Surabaya to the cherry orchards of Andros, from the generals and ocean liners to the golden beach of Neimboriou and to the melancholy exercises of a group of girls, from a tomato pilaf in Buenos Aires to the faithful lard tongues hanging from the mouth of Mouraina, and from the Allied convoys during the Second World War in Riva and the white two-story building of Saltafers with its stingy ceiling, which dripped the sounds of the upper house and along with them, the sounds of love in the identical lower house, twenty-four thin cypress boards that ruined lives.
