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.
