In Tehran in 1958, Nasser Ali was the most famous violin player in Iran, but he recently suffered a major blow: his wife accidentally broke his beloved violin. A life without music is unbearable for him for a moment, and there is no more violin that can inspire him like the one before. Without it, he would no longer feel the joy of playing. As Nasser lay on the bed, he began to imagine various ways of death: being run over by a train, jumping off a cliff, or simply shooting through his head, or swallowing an overdose of sleeping pills. The more he thought about it, the more he felt these. The method of death is not worth trying by yourself, and his pride as a musician does not allow him to do so. So Nasser chose a more challenging way. He started to eat or drink. After 8 days, he finally waited for the arrival of the angel of death
