***Not recommended for under-16s.***
Five stories, randomly interconnected, unfold simultaneously in five major cities around the world – Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. The protagonists are five taxi drivers and their passengers, and the theme centres on the relationships that develop between them during their journeys. There is, for example, the entertainment agent who wants to recruit the pretty female driver into the film industry, the streetwise passenger who shows the clumsy driver how the car works, the blind woman who ‘sees more’ than the black driver, and the priest, whom the loud-mouthed driver bombards with details of his sexual habits.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
