After living several years in the USA, particularly in Minnesota, the idealistic family relationship between Aragsan and her husband Abshir had soured. The loyal and faithful subservient homemaker Aragsan runs into the toughest and most difficult situation in her life; Language barrier, cultural shock and the stigma attached to being Singal Maadar from within her own community, and prejudice against Singal Maadars in general. In addition, the Singal Maadar suffers knowingly or unknowingly from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and extreme anxiety and fear which descended from not only the ruined relationship with her husband, but also guilty and remorse feelings associated with her disabled son and the miserable life of her mother. As a disenfranchised single mother with emotional torment, Aragsan must tussle with both her own life and her children’s daily life. Aragsan lived in an ordinary life, at least in her own thoughts and had an ordinary family. But one day she sees a familiar face on video movie as she was watching it. He is guilty...He committed adultery. Is this a reality or is it a bogus illusion or image that Aragsan’s anxious, distressed and fearful brain has invented? A jealous, sad, uncontrollable, miserable Single Mother would go to the Center of Exhibition where SIR (Sayniska iyo Isir-Rogga), a Biotechnological Gene Engineering Company, allies SIR specialized for modifying human genes into gorillas runs business of a man-made gorillas designed only for Singal Maadars. The synthetic father, Keyd-aabbe (Reserved Daddy) is Aragsan’s faithful and loyal stooge man-made half-human-half gorilla whose main function is to assist the Singal Maadar and her four children. Keyd-abbe has been conceived and modified to be an obedient and supportive artificial husband who follows Aragsan’s endless and harsh commands.
