Saeed, a young married man, wakes up late and begins his day in chaos, rushing from one obligation to another. As he tries to make up for lost time, he forgets his breakfast and looks forward to his favorite meal, “Tower Shawarma.” After a series of meetings, he heads to a restaurant, where a waiter named Osama reminds him of the importance of prayer.
When Saeed returns from praying, he discovers that his shoes have been stolen. Forced to wear another pair, he later spots someone wearing his stolen shoes and steals a valuable prayer bead from them. What follows is a series of unexpected adventures that leaves Saeed running for his life. In the end, he wakes up to discover that it was all a dream—and starts his day again with a smile, having learned an important lesson about life.
