The comment the film wants to make is about the absolute importance of hard work, passion and dedication towards one’s work, whatever it may be. It is the same dedication to storytelling that the film itself too strives for.

When it opens, we are introduced to a worried protagonist who is making a phone call in search of a job. It is answered by a woman who is not interested in hiring him for she already has someone working for her household, one who delivers on his tasks to her full satisfaction. The conversation continues, but to little avail for the protagonist. Listening to the phone call, the shopkeeper who owns the phone, offers the man a job after witnessing his dedication and honesty. As is true of many projects that demand subtitles or translations, sometimes the core meaning becomes a little hard to follow for the viewer who is not familiar with the language. Nevertheless, the primary intentions of the narrative are soon realized. This not only manages to catch the viewer by surprise, but also delivers the plot's resolution to them with lucidity.
