A man and a woman meet during nocturnal taxi rides. She is a mysterious passenger. He is the driver, her sounding board and he’s secretly in love with her.

During nocturnal taxi rides, a man and a woman meet each other time and again. He is the driver, she’s the passenger. She talks about herself, her relationships and her job uninhibitedly. He is her sounding board and makes the occasional comment. But about his own feelings, he doesn’t say a word.

 

‘Tasavor’ is a melancholic, dreamy film. Through clever composition, the director manages to portray the small, closed space of the taxi differently each time. As for the taxi driver, the mysterious woman remains intangible for the viewer. Who is she? Is she always the same? Is she even real?
