Our man has about everything against him : he is short, weak, so simple, with an IQ far below the average. There is no wonder why he keeps on being teased by his friends, parents and even fiancee. But circumstances will turn him into a hero and then a vicious criminal feared by all. Half-educated and out-of-work, Taha, is kidnapped by a gang of thieves in his hometown Alexandria. Unbeknownst to them, neither Taha's mother nor his girlfriend has a fraction of the ransom
