Taste of Cherry

1997, directed by Abbas Kiarostami

Directed by Abbas Kiarostami, Taste of Cherry shows a middle-aged man from Tehran, Mr. Badii, has decided to end his life and is searching for someone to bury him afterward. As he drives through Tehran, Badii, who appears to be financially well-off, approaches several people, including a Muslim student, offering them the job. However, he struggles to find anyone willing to take on the task. Finally, Badii meets a man who agrees to do it, motivated by financial need. But as they spend more time together, his new companion begins to try to persuade Badii to reconsider his decision to commit suicide.
