Film Summary
===Makan, a dedicated young woodcarver, in the busy streets of Bamako, buys a betting ticket to humour a friend and surprisingly wins. When he finds out about his winnings he discovers that his jacket with the betting ticket has been misplaced. He goes from place to place trying to trace the jacket’s whereabouts, while not wanting to draw too much attention to the winning ticket. Word gets out however, and more people are suddenly interested in laying their hands on the ticket. A wild chase in pursuit of the jacket ensues. He enlists the help of the brother of the lovely Sira, a young teacher and reader, for whom Makan nurses romantic feelings. Makan finds himself embroiled in escapades that seem to take him further away from collecting his winnings, and it doesn’t help that amid all the chaos, his attention is drawn to the spark between him and Sira...===
