2003 November, Somewhere in Attorney General's Office

The phone rings and rings. After ten rings the incumbent Attorney General picks up the phone. The negotiations fail. He would not settle for a lower post. After ten years in Cabinet, he would not agree for a demotion. He puts the receiver down. He walks slowly to a filing cabinet and picks up piles of papers and documents carefully concealed in a secret compartment. He had hidden all papers knowing that a day like this may come. With this information he could fight any enemy in government. Everybody wants to lay their hands on those files. With this powerful resource he could one day become unbeatable. He takes the papers home and puts them in a black box made out of a strong material. He deposits the key safely. Everybody would be hunting for that key for years. But the KGB training in Russia was for a purpose.

2007

He promises that the black box will be opened. He assures the members of the party that if he becomes the party president the content of the black box will be laid bare for the whole country to see. The evil man in the palace will be defeated in five months.


The Key To The Black Box is a film full of suspense directed by Mohamed Niyaz (Tedry) and produced by Eternal Pictures. The story is based on the fight for the key to the black box, which contains classified information and state secrets including the details of the murder of Sylivia in a guest house in Male', the sinking of MV Victory near Hulhule, and the UFO landings in Kaashidhoo. The black box contains the secrets of Amin Didi assassination, location of peaceful nuclear plant in Baa Atoll and volumes of scientific research on the phenomenon known as Kadumathi Elhun.

The Key To The Black Box is a cinematic celebration of the masterful political genius Dr Mohamed Munavvar. The film is to be screened at Odeon and National Cinema in May after Dr Munavvar wins the MDP presidential primaries.

In the political spy thriller genre I haven't seen any movie like this since The Hunt for the Red October.

I heard that even the Doc can't now remember where he had hidden the key. So the black box is not open even after 5 months passed after he became MDP president. I just hope that he finds the key after he wins the primary by beating Anni and Reeko this time.

why do you all call him doc? His phd was completed literally by his supervisor. His whole thesis was paid for. There is a reason behind his meagre political existence. That is he simply does not have the qualifications to be talking about policies. If he did then we would have heard something of substance instead of all the rhetoric. Even his supporters are turning against him because of his inaction. He's just a mental case like carnal nasheed fighting over a lollipop.
