Helping Hands

After the king's death in Saudi Arabia, the men of the country must, as tradition requires, shake hands with the new King, in a sign of allegiance. But with 10 million men in the kingdom this may take a long time. Cardboard portraits of the king were installed in public places, with with behind each case, a man paid to shake their hands.

This is an amazing and unbelievable film showing how Saudi people come to the Royal Palace and shake the hands of three people hidden behind three life-size photographs with their right hands sticking out posing as the King and deputies!
This practical invention, which a first in history, is done to spare the aging king and his deputies the agony of shaking hands with thousands of people!

کاین آمدن از کجا و رفتن به کجاست
