In the movie, his father took Ali to work in a wealthy area. After ringing the doorbell, Ali's father didn't know how to answer the inquiries from the rich family. Leaving quickly is a metaphor for the division of society and the resulting aphasia of the bottom people in the face of the wealthy class who are absolutely dominant in all aspects of wealth, culture and other aspects .

After ringing the doorbell again, Ali's father still didn't know how to answer. At this time, Ali, who had received basic education and excellent grades, took the call in time and explained his intention. Ali's performance pinned the director's expectations on education and the new generation in changing the social status quo .
