Logline A stranded alcoholic and a mysterious taxi driver embark upon a different kind of road trip.
Synopsis All the taxi drivers in the city agree: they no longer want to give Doris a ride. The self-declared grand dame and notorious alcoholic only causes trouble. But when Doris seems to have exhausted all resources, she discovers the “Taximan” in the depths of the phone book. He agrees to drive her home. There's just one catch: he's even crazier than she is.

Director's Statement
„DORIS and the TAXIMAN are two individuals who have been broken by reality. It seems as if they have lost touch with society completely. And in return, society has shunned them. Will these two outsiders manage to save each other? Or will they sink lower than ever?“
