The story in Run for Money evolves around a shirt-shop in downtown Istanbul, which the main character Selim is carefully tending. But the sales have been and still are depressingly low. And money means a lot to him, a fact he keeps hiding from his family and his minimum waged assistant at the store. One rainy day he jumps into a cab which has stopped right in front of him. The taxi takes off and he suddenly discovers a bag the last customer has left behind. A bag loaded with cash. Half a million American dollars! What will a downright and totally honest man do then?
Run for Money is a moral fable where the main topic, of course, is: Money, but is also brings forth a different human behaviour that are affected by its power. And they are not few. Just ask Selim
