Moscow in the year 2007: one of the most hectic, expensive, dangerous and, at the same time, fascinating cities in the world. Olga Fomina runs the first taxi company in Moscow not only to be run exclusively by women, but also to have its pink-coloured taxis driven also solely by women. All nineteen of her employees are in their mid to late-thirties and bring a healthy dose of life experience, tolerance and sociability with them.

The film accompanies them and their clientele through the Moscow traffic, penetrating with every kilometre deeper into the soul of contemporary Russia.
