Romania, 2019, 17 Min

Christmas in Bucharest: taxi driver Mircea has seen it all. Wearing an indifferent expression, he drives a series of aggressively intrusive characters across the city. A call to a local radio station brings excitement to his life however. Maybe he'll win the trip to Cuba?

As with Mircea himself the lives of his passengers haven't turned out as planned: there's a quarrelling, aggressive couple, a Santa Claus who hates children and a rejected lover. Despite everything he remains stoic, even when a screaming female passenger climbs over his lap in order to hurl the most vulgar of insults at a slow-witted waitress at a drive-in restaurant.

Featuring fast-paced, cleverly cut scenes, a diverse cast and a backdrop of glaring neon lights director Andrei Huţuleac creates an entertaining satire that keeps viewers on their toes and a bitter end that will long remain in the memory. DJ
