It's a dark night and the pier is deserted. Ivo turns up the collar of his overcoat. He feels very cold, and the huge, hostile silence fills him with a vague fear. Go travel. But it's weird… Everything looks different from what he always imagined. The great ocean liner is outlined with no clear outlines against the sooty sky. Not a single human figure can be seen on the pier. One can guess, however, in the darkness, the rigid and icy presence of the cranes.
The minutes pass. Ivo looks. Yes, now you see the silhouette of the big boat more clearly. The Great Journey! Your dream will come true. All your anxieties will be left behind. It's a release.
