Synopsis/Details

Steve, a broken father devastated by the loss of his eight-year-old son, has spent months trying to end his own life. One rainy night, after begging death itself to take him, a mysterious taxi arrives outside his apartment.

Inside sits a calm, unreadable driver who seems to know everything about him.

As the taxi moves through an increasingly unreal landscape, Steve slowly realizes he is speaking with Death itself. But instead of taking him, the Driver offers him something else: one final chance to see his son.

In a place untouched by pain, time, or suffering, Steve reunites with the child he lost. Desperate to stay, he is instead forced to confront the lives he still changes simply by remaining alive.

By the end of the night, Steve must decide whether he truly wants death — or simply an end to grief.

The Writer: Ferenc Berki
