Story
Childless Masht Hassan is the owner of the only cow in the village.
One day he is absent from the village for a day. At this time, the cow is dying. To soften the blow, villagers bury a cow in an old well and decide to tell Hassan that the cow has escaped.
Upon returning, Hassan can not believe in the escape of a darling. The next day, he goes crazy and begins to consider himself a cow, hiding in a stable and eating hay.
A few days later, villagers decide to forcibly take him to a hospital in the city. Hassan breaks away from the companions and dies, tearing off a cliff.
