Short description
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.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, the film was to be titled «Journey to Dawn».
- The film was shot without a detailed script. The emphasis during filming was placed on improvisation.
- Abbas Kiarostami filmed all the actors separately, either seated in the driver's seat or the passenger seat of a car. The director involved the actors – none of whom were professionals – in conversation and recorded their responses.
