A middle-aged Tehranian man, Mr. Badii is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise. Driving around the city, the seemingly well-to-do Badii meets with numerous people, including a Muslim student, asking them to take on the job, but initially he has little luck. Eventually, Badii finds a man who is up for the task because he needs the money, but his new associate soon tries to talk him out of committing suicide.
A man wanders the dusty outskirts of Tehran in a desperate, quiet search for anyone willing to bury his body after he ends his own life. This meditative journey replaces grand drama with the small, profound textures of life found in a handful of brief conversations.
