As his daughter becomes ill, getting her checked in a hospital becomes a dilemma for him. He needs to get money as soon as possible. As the illness lingers for weeks, Bangis’ desperation grows stronger. He knows he must do something, or else his daughter wouldn’t survive her ordeal. He decides to steal a newly buried corpse and sell it to a funeral parlor for money. He only hopes that everything goes well and everything’s not too late for his beloved daughter.
