Baykot plot

Valeh is a communist. His wife fears for his life because he engages in dangerous activities. When Valeh is arrested, he is mistreated and interrogated. After the court sentences him to death, he is transferred to prison. His friends in prison tell him that he must die a hero and continue to fight for his rights. But Valeh doesn't see much in that and would rather live, or at least find a better reason to die...
