SYNOPSIS
The film’s story is inspired by the story of French postman Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, who spent 33 years building his house and turning it into an architectural masterpiece in the heart of the French city of La Drome. The events of this film revolve around a postman named Ayoub, and his character is played by the Iraqi actor Raed Mohsen, who works in a rural area. The task of delivering messages became functionally unacceptable after the mobile phone entered the lives of Iraqis, so he was fired and became unemployed. The events of the film begin to escalate gradually.
