When he settles for early retirement, he buys a nearby storefront and sets up: “Mahmoud’s photocopy.” He makes photocopies and types up documents. One day, a student asks him to type up a report on the extinction of dinosaurs. Mahmoud can’t help but begin to see some strange parallels with the state of his life. Driven by a desire to change the depressing reality of his own lifestyle, he starts a journey that leads him to revolt against his life.
