Sredovječni Teheranac, g. Badii, namjerava se ubiti i traži nekoga da ga sahrani nakon smrti. Vozeći se gradom, naoko dobro raspoloženi Badii susreće se s brojnim ljudima moleći ih da preuzmu taj posao... Gospodin Badii sredovječan je čovjek koji se želi ubiti. Vozeći svoj Range Rover suhom periferijom Teherana, traži nekoga tko će mu pomoći u posljednjim satima, nekoga tko će pristati pokopati njegovo tijelo ako uspije u svojoj misiji – planiranom predoziranju tabletama za spavanje – ili ga spasiti ako ne uspije. Nudeći veliku svotu novca u zamjenu za pružene usluge, najprije pokupi kurdskog vojnika koji kad sazna za Badiijev plan ustrašeno pobjegne. Sljedeći putnik, afganistanski sjemeništarac, umjesto toga pokušava ga uvjeriti u svetost ljudskog života. Naposljetku, Badii pokupi turskog taksidermista koji nevoljko pristaje provjeriti znakove života na tijelu.
