Tasked with rallying workers for a presidential motorcade, he instead chooses to pocket their wages, reflecting his disillusionment. Through humor and keen observation, the story offers a poignant commentary on the social transformations leading to the Egyptian revolution of 2011, capturing the complexities of personal and political landscapes in a pivotal era of history.
