In Saleh's debut film, the local fool finds a winning lottery ticket in a neighborhood. Suddenly, all of the relationships in the community are transformed, as if a veil had been removed. Everyone fights for the wealth, brother against brother, until the fool finds a very foolish place to hide this disruptive element-and saves them all.
