- Synopsis
- After one Friday‘s prayer, the newcomer chicken seller in the neighborhood is welcomed by everyone except Salama. The 10-year-old boy Salama accidentally observes a suspicious unmannered behavior from the chicken seller. As Salama’s reference to morality comes from his belief in reward and punishment, tells his closest friend Mustafa about his observation and decides to give the shop owner a chance to fix his behavior by writing him a letter. In the letter, Salama informs the shop owner that he witnessed an undisciplined method of work. The boys hope the bike shop they liked -which the chicken shop replaced- will reopen again.
  When the letter doesn’t affect the shop owner, Salama with the help of his friend Mustafa sneaks out of their homes and ambles their way to punish the chicken seller for his unmannered action. In their bumps journey, they had to test the strength of their friendship and the validity of their morality. By freeing the chicken out of the cages, they believe that they are the hand of God by applying his justice.
