Nanna ([Washiya Mohamed](/source/Washiya_Mohamed)), a young pretty girl begs her ex-boyfriend, Soppe (Anoof Ali Musthafa), to meet her in [Male'](/source/Male'), one last time before her departure, hoping she could escape from her old-aged husband, Samad (Mohamed Zuhuree). While having a coffee, Soppe throws a cigarette filter off the terrace which lands on the newly purchased bed which Ahmed (Ali Fizam) was delivering to his short tempered brother-in-law, Masood ([Ismail Rasheed](/source/Ismail_Rasheed)). Having no cash in had, Ahmed leaves the bed with the pick-up driver (Ahmed Ishar) and flees from the scene. Ahmed gets rid of the bed by selling it to Samad for a cheap price. Due to the time-restriction in loading the bed into their boat, Samad takes it to his guest house. On entering his room, Samad is greeted with a surprise where he sees his young wife making out with her ex-boyfriend. Outraged, he suffocates him to death and buries him in the very same bed.
