An alternative future that suspiciously resembles a totalitarian empire of the middle of the previous century. The passengers of the special taxicab are pouring out their hearts to the driver without saying a word. A humble and silent boy with a soft smile and understanding eyes is hearing out the confessions of a “real” man, a rich lady, and a freaked out security officer. Who is this strange mind reader psychotherapist driving the black cab?
