Plot

[edit]

This is the story of an outcast named Jacob, a Palestinian. Jacob's feet are so turned out that he walks like Charlie Chaplin. He is different because of that and decides to emigrate from Palestine to Canada, where "everyone is equal". There everybody treats him kindly, and a thief specializing in stealing money from cash machines takes him into his home and treats him like a son, waitress Selma finds him a job as a Chaplin imitator, and "prophet" Khalil Gibran gives him wise advice.
