About the Film
Three diverse cab drivers navigate the city at night in this dreamlike meditation on trust, chance and the transformative power of human connection. Featuring one Indo-Canadian, one woman and one Chinese-Canadian, their stories intersect to expose the tensions of race and class that simmer under the surface of our cities. But through it all, their experiences reveal moments of insight, humour and emotion possible between strangers.
