I can imagine the joy I would feel if I read this story. I know the ideas are pure and perfect in our minds. They don't have to be embodied in strict forms with a lot of compromises - which is what actually happened with this story: it happened and it flattened out. The interesting ideas evoked were trivialised. Perhaps the problem was the missing director. I mean a trükk and experienced one. Who would not have been satisfied with the perfect performances of the actors. I don't know what exactly should have been done differently. I am not a director myself. Or it's possible that the restraint and puritanism was due to the will of the director? I might have shown such a suddenly rich con man to have some sort of bad taste. At least symbolically - and not just with the turban, which is a calculatedly applied advertising tool for their own followers. In this form, the scenes retain the character of a TV movie. The end result, while interesting, is not surprising, not disturbing, not even refreshing.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
