Review
A young woman takes a cab ride from JFK airport to Manhattan and engages in an extended, candid conversation with her older driver about relationships, family histories, sex, power dynamics, loss, and vulnerability. The dialogue-driven drama unfolds entirely inside the taxi as they swap personal stories and generational perspectives. The narrative centers on human connection and intimate revelations through these frank exchanges.
