The narrative follows a young rag-picker as he goes about his day. Following the format of a silent film and hence marked by a complete absence of dialogues, the story comes to be marked by a point of view which remains confined to being a quiet, non-intrusive observer to the protagonist's activities as he moves from one location to another.
Events within the story seem to be reaching a crescendo when he finds some money floating in a tub. However, how will this incident tie up with the title of the film - one that suggests a state of satisfaction? The protagonist is located in an existence away from material accumulation, and yet he is allowed to stumble across money. The film offers a fitting conclusion which, in turn, enables closure for the viewer as well as an answer to this question.
