Morteza (Mori) and Javad murdered a girl while robbing a jewelry store 6 years ago.

They have been on death row ever since and they are about to get executed at the victim’s father’s request.

The father eventually forgives them, but it doesn’t change anything since they are also sentenced to “enmity against God” (an Islamic sentence given to armed robbers).

This time though, they are not capable of confronting death, they decide to kill an individual in prison so that they can postpone their death sentence for a few more years while they go through another trial.
