The story
Şaban is under pressure from his family to work and earn money, but his naivety repeatedly gets in the way: he cannot keep the jobs he finds and is soon fired. While riding a train, he catches the attention of Ayşe, an advertising-agency worker who is considering using an ordinary person to promote a major company’s products. Seeing a possible fit, Ayşe persuades Şaban to appear in commercials.
