Plot
A mild-mannered, innocent, gullible and timid man causes amusement when he comes to work in a business — because of his moustache's resemblance to Adolf Hitler. Soon, however, he finds himself growing into a more forceful and dynamic person, becoming a charismatic leader and a successful businessman as his wife teaches him more and more about Hitler's charismatic personality, dynamism, organizational and leadership abilities. He uses Hitler as a template reaching a point where he works without even requiring much sleep even forgoing his wife's daily lessons causing him to alienate himself from his wife and daughter. He builds a business empire that runs like clockwork only to find out that his daughter has married a young man who considers Umanath as his enemy to get back at him. In the end, once he finds out about Hitler's unethical deeds, he regrets emulating him.
