This is a well crafted movie. A man who is not wealthy wants to give away some amount of money. He put an ad in a newspaper and ask people who need money to come an fill an application. Large crowd is causing a traffic jam and police gets involved. This is a great story to show how this political, economical system in Iran is dysfunctional and while small number of people close to the system live a stravaganza life the majority of people are desperate for a small amount of money. A traffic jam caused by the crowd bring the police to scene that is afraid of the large crowd and see it as security thread. A bad decision from the police might cause an unrest and just a clear mind sees the sign of unrest and defuse the tension. The man eventually is in a hard position to make a decision about who is in worse economic situation and eligible to get the money. The economic and cultural misery of those people is heart breaking.
