We follow the life of Thomas, a taxi driver. A taxi driver's job is not to judge, or get involved, or give moral advice. It's to drive. To go where he's told to go, for a price. So when he gets some shady passengers with a ravenous dog, who have money, and have places to be... how far will he really go?
I like the idea that it's "Taxi Driver", but with a European setting, humour, and mannerisms. A very German Rob de Niro directed by a Georgian mind.
The story is a great example of how a morally neutral (yet socially proper) character lives his life. He doesn't stick his nose in other people's business, he takes on everyone's side like a chameleon. Is that good or bad? Is being amoral better or worse than being immoral? If you don't take sides, are you everyone's ally or everyone's enemy? And can new opportunities that never came up before, really change a person's perspective on the world, and what he's capable of?
These questions arise as you watch the story unfold, and you want to put yourself in their situation to see what you yourself would do.
It's a move that's great to discuss afterwards over a wine.
