A fairytale-like story taken from Mevlana's Masnavi, which also inspired Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist... The story of Istanbulite Takkeci Baba, who sets out on a difficult journey to reach the great treasure announced in his dream... A production that shows those who seek wealth and happiness far away that the treasures are not far away but in one's heart... Takkeci Baba is a poor Istanbulite who makes a living with difficulty by making felt skullcaps and whose only concern is to have a mosque built. In his dream, he is constantly told, "Go to Baghdad. Eat the grapes that you have from that vine. That is your destiny." Takkeci Baba believes that a sign has been given to him with this dream. He sets out on a difficult journey. He goes through all sorts of trouble until he gets to Baghdad. He is robbed by thieves, ends up in prison and is forced to beg. In Baghdad, Takkeci Baba finds the vine shown to him in his dream. He reaches for the grape bunch. The vines belong to a Baghdad native named Musa. Musa wants to punish Takkeci Baba who entered his garden without permission. Takkeci Baba tells his story to Musa. Musa also sees a treasure in the basement of a house in Istanbul in his dream. The house Baghdad describes is none other than Takkeci's house. Perhaps the message of the dream that dragged Takkeci all the way to Baghdad is in his own house. Takkeci sets out on a journey to Istanbul to get his treasure buried in his own house...
