Buddyis a middle-aged man who hates his life. He digs a hole under a cherry tree and prepares to commit suicide and bury it here. In order to find a kind person who can bury his body after his death, Buddy drove around the suburbs of Tehran to search. Along the way he met Afghans, Kurds, Turks, prisoners, soldiers, seminary students and museum staff. He told the passengers of his plans, saying that he had dug the hole and that they only had to fill it with soil to get a large sum of money. But they all rejected him for various reasons, some out of fear, some out of religious scruples, and some out of humanitarian considerations.
The last person to get into Buddy's car was an old man named Badri, a taxidermist who reluctantly agreed to save enough money to treat his children. his request. In the car, Buddy persuaded Buddy all the way to think about the meaning of life, and kept saving Buddy's heart from despair with simple truths. Under Budre's persuasion, Buddy gradually changed his mind. After Buddy sent him back to the museum, he sat alone in the sunset until it was dark, slowly reminiscing about everything he encountered today. At night, he drove alone to the cherry tree, lay in the cave he dug, looked up at the vast night sky, gradually revealed a calm smile, and found that the taste of life is as beautiful as a cherry.
