Synopsis
The story of Jalal begins as an abandoned baby rescued from the river. But the villagers are soon sorry that they did when misfortunes plague the town: Jalal is considered a curse and re-abandoned. Years later, Jalal, now 9, is living as the adopted son of a rich landowner. But once again he seems to bring bad luck, this time “causing” the man’s wife to be infertile. Ten years later Jalal is working for a gangster-cum-politician when the man’s wife dies in childbirth. Whose fault can it be now?
