Unknown to most Turkish viewers (due to censor in Turkish Televisions) this movie has strong political content other than just being and absurd comedy.
Adem is a worker in bubble gum factory. He is a total loser and nobody -except the tea maker of factory- respects him and treat him like a sh*t. And he's a naive dreamer with high hopes who thinks about having home and car with newspaper coupons.
When an official from US Embassy comes and tell that he had inheritance from his uncle in US. Everybody starts to act differently, they start to make compliments to him. He's made partner to factory, his landlord agrees to marry her daughter to him. But when they learn his inheritance is a donkey people get angry until a journalist make a false news about there's a huge diamond in donkey's stomach.
Then people start to wait donkey to sh*t. So they can get the diamond. after days of waiting (because Adem gave donkey some chemicals to delay) when donkey shits. All people who're waiting rush to sh*t and try to find diamond. Adem leaves the factory with disgust. For the first time his life he has seen the ugly face of mankind and he lost his hope for humanity. But then a group of marching workers emerge with a banner "Fascism Shall Not Pass". He joins them and movie ends with he's shouting "Freedom to Party of Worker Class" This last part(and some other references during movie) is never shown in Turkish televisions.
