Mr Badii is a middle-aged man, who wants to end his life for unknown reasons. For that purpose, he has already dug a grave in a remote place, but he still needs somebody to bury him in that grave. Thus, he drives his car through the desert of Iran to find an assistant... but nobody is willing to help him out. Finally, there is someone, who agrees. That person also wished to end his life once, but he was convinced otherwise... by the taste of cherry.
