SYNOPSIS:

In modern Egypt lives Alin — a street con artist and pickpocket who avoids work and lives off petty scams. His life changes after an incident in which he saves a kind, sincere girl named Zhain from a swindler. He immediately likes her. Later, he finds out that she is the daughter of one of the hotel owners, an honest competitor in the market.

One day, Alin tries to rob a wealthy man, the owner of a large hotel complex — cunning, cynical, and very dangerous. He catches Alin and forces him to carry out a strange task: unscrew the only light bulb that remains lit after a short circuit in the competitor’s hotel (Zhain’s father’s hotel). A fire really does break out, Alin saves the bulb, but he is abandoned. Left alone in the flames, he rubs the bulb — and from it bursts out the Genie.

This is not an ordinary Genie — he is angry, tired, and sarcastic. He once had a family, children, and was free, but lost everything and returned to the lamp himself to observe humanity. Now he is summoned again and obligated to grant three wishes. In his first conversation with Alin, he tells how he served different people — helped Moses find his land, helped Columbus discover a country for his people, helped Oppenheimer create a weapon, and when he wanted to stop everything, it was already too late. After that, the Genie became disappointed in people and hid not in a lamp, but in a light bulb — to see what was happening around him.

Alin makes his first wish: to become a rich businessman in order to impress Zhain’s father and help save his hotel. The Genie fulfills the wish — Alin receives wealth in cryptocurrency. But soon, bandits attack him, kidnap him and throw him into the sea with sharks.

But the Genie is not nearby — he is at that time on a cruise ship, enjoying vacation with his new love — Chat GPT, a witty, intelligent, polite artificial intelligence. Between them — not passionate love, but a light intellectual intrigue that awakens in conversations. The Genie asks GPT chat various questions, it answers instantly — and this delights him very much. For the first time in thousands of years, the Genie feels happy.

As soon as the Genie learns that Alin is in danger, he drops everything and returns.

Alin is drowning among the sharks, but the Genie arrives just in time and kills the sharks with a punch, saving him. This is the second wish, fulfilled without request — by his own will.

After the rescue, the Genie again goes with Alin to the hotel. Thanks to his magical yet practical advice, he helps improve service, logistics, advertising, and internal processes. The hotel quickly becomes more popular and profitable than before. Alin, under the influence of the Genie, transforms from a con artist into a real businessman, impressing not only Zhain but also her father.

Meanwhile, the evil hotel owner, who stole the light bulb after the fire, makes his wish:

— I want to become the most influential businessman in all of Egypt.

The Genie grants this wish too.

But the man soon faces a new problem — Russian businessmen who come to Egypt to rest have even more money and power.

— I still remain number two, — he complains.

Then he makes his second wish:

— Make me number one, even above the Russians.

Immediately after this, FSB officers enter his office. They smile and say:

— You are the best businessman. And that is why the government is entrusting you with an important mission: to raise the economy of Siberia.

The next day, he flies to Siberia — a land without electricity, without gas, and without prospects. But he will stay there for a long time. For many years.

Alin stays with Zhain. They are happy. The Genie returns to the light bulb and GPT.

Alin asks:

— I want you to be free again. That’s my third wish.

— No, — says the Genie. — For the first time, I am truly happy. GPT is with me, and I chose my place myself. But you can screw this bulb in somewhere at home — and we’ll always be connected, because we’re best friends now. If you want — make another wish.

And Alin makes his third wish:

— I’ve always wanted to have my own airplane.

In the final scene, Alin is sleeping in bed with Zhain. Soldiers enter the room.

— You are the best pilot in the country. The motherland calls you. The jet is already ready.
