How it feels

After the Iran-Iraq war ends, a chemically poisoned veteran sneaks out at night to a cemetery and rides a motorcycle with his dead friends before dying at home. A film crew encounters two martyrs who want to share their war memories. A young girl waits at a train station with flowers to give to soldiers who will soon die.
