The opening scene of the film is a pair of gentlemen who have somehow come across a 86-carat diamond. One of the gentlemen, named Turkish, asks the audience,
“What do I know about diamonds?”
This films theme is all about juxtaposing irony. What I mean is that all the characters are involved in a figurative paring of double-crossing and double-dealing. All the various parties are pursuing their own personal agendas involving diamond, but the substories and lives continue to intertwine and weave together as this stone passes through, by and around their lives.
Everyone’s life is all about that what if moment or the next step, or “luck”. They go left instead of right and lose the sight of the stone, and as all the characters are motivated by greed, the rewarding of the stone to the person or group who are unluckiest of all and who have no actual knowledge of the stone and are in no way pursuing it, is ironic.
