    I once flew a whole day to surprise my boyfriend (almost fiance), drove from NY to Boston which took another 2 hours and found out he was cheating on me. I had to take a cab back to NY to fly back home. There were no flights back that night so I had to stay a night in NY and the cab driver drove me all over NY just to find me a hotel. He knew from the phone calls from my sister that I was heartbroken and he did everything he could to help me out. He didn't want to take any money even though he drove me around for 2 hours until I found a hotel. He came to pick me up the next day from the hotel in his own car to take me to the airport and did not take any money. Even though that night I found out that my ex was a douche, I did not lose trust in humanity. There are some very decent people like Dara out there. Beautiful story! I watched it with tears in my eyes. Bravo!!

    The loneliest hearts are the kindest.
    Dara breaks my heart. The actor, who played him did an excellent job. He conveyed so much about Dara, just through body language and facial expression.
    Also, his face in the first bit, where the couple is making out, I can so identify. I have worked service jobs my whole life and if I had a dime for every time I was treated like a fly on the wall, like I wasn't actually there. It's awkward and a bit ridiculous. Your like, "Oh yes, don't mind me, I am a cardboard cut out."

    What I love most about these short films is that most of them (like this one) are so damn natural you can't even tell they are acting. It is just like real life and that makes these so incredibly fun to watch. There's no substitute for natural in any form or sense in this world, and I for one wish all movies were just like this.

    Be honest, in a real life situation she would have called the police on me for not dropping her off when she asked, and I would have probably agreed with her because I would have been alarmed too if it had happened to me. I understand being a good Samaritan but use your words. Tell the person why, rather than do something that might be misinterpreted. If you have the courage to help her out of that situation then also have the courage to tell her why you did not want her to go to that apartment rather than do something so alarming .
    Great movie nonetheless

      It is well written, the acting is great. So great that I forgot, at times, that I was watching a short film and truly thought it was like getting to be a spectator in someone's true life story. Great movie and my only complaint was the way the driver went about protecting the client, however it was understood at the end and the ending was a good one, at least for the driver.
      Great movie and very relatable,to the point that you can become emotionally invested before you realize it.

    When you have no family left and no children and no friends every moment of everyday can be filled with pain. The most crowded of places are the loneliest and watching couples hold hands or link each other become noticed like people in colour against the grey backdrop of silhouettes. If you have ever felt this and most people haven't then what can you do to give meaning to your life. Imagine also being unemployed and then nothing could really be bleaker than this. Imagine also suffering from untreatable depression and an addiction. These people are out there and these people see the world in a very different place. Makes me wonder why so may people have so many things yet just because they are not financially wealthy they are unhappy. The only thing in life that can truly bring you happiness is someone to love and someone who loves you.. I have no family and all my friends have moved away over the yrs. When my grandad was alone after my gran passes I went to see him most days. Now there is nobody to come and see me. Pls be kind to people who are alone. Just a kind word or deed can turn it all around for some people. Thanks Omeleto for this one:)

    Very good direction and ace direction of photography gave this a very atmospheric melancholy feel enhanced by the tightly enclosed space, foggy windows, and gloominess of the night. The pans right and left gave the story space for thought and the clever sparse script gave us more than enough to realise the two leads stories. Very good performances added to what is a top piece of work.

    Cab driver -Badly executed. Dude nooo...
    Female passenger - very intuitive, very sharp, very quick witted and strong presence of mind. The cab driver could have in serious trouble with someone else. Imagine the presence of mind required to put everything together in a short time frame while being in an emotional roller coaster.
    Our initial encounter with her makes me feel she may have had a sense of what the boyfriend was up to.
    All in all a potentially really really bad situation averted
