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.

Would love to see a prequel called The Mulberry Tree where you see Mr. Bagheri’s story. I wasn’t a fan of the ending of this film. I think what he did in the Koker trilogy was way more clever with mixing reality and fiction.
*” have you lost all hope? Have you ever looked at the sky when you wake in the morning? At dawn, don’t you want to see the sun rise? The red and yellow of the sun at sunset, don’t you want to see that anymore? Have you seen the moon? Don’t you want to see the stars? The night of the full moon, don’t you want to see it again? You want to close your eyes? “ * *“If you look at the four seasons, each season brings fruit. In summer, there is fruit. In autumn too. Winter brings different fruit, and spring too. No mother can fill her fridge with such a variety of fruit for her children. No mother can do as much for her children as God does for his creatures. You want to reject all that? you want to give it all up? you want to give up the taste of cherries?”*
I'm sorry…maybe some other time I'll like this one. I don’t like having to pause films multiple times but this one just wasn’t holding my attention.
