<h4>In A City That Never Sleeps, Some Souls Are Lost Forever</h4>
Taxi! delves into the life of Matthew, a taxi driver whose nightly interactions with a diverse array of passengers—a nervous job seeker, a single mother, an estranged lover, among others—unveil themes of family, fate, and identity.
These fleeting yet impactful encounters shed light not only on the passengers' lives but also on Matthew's own internal struggles and past burdens.
