The film WORLD TAXI follows five charismatic taxi drivers and their passengers from five different cities: Bangkok, Prishtina, Dakar, El Paso and Berlin, for 24 hours through their city, their everyday lives, their private lives and their thoughts. A sense of simultaneity is created by a parallel montage of the different time zones, aligned with Central European Time. The taxi rides, the opening and closing of the doors set the rhythm, connect the protagonists with each other, show the differences and similarities and at the same time are a symbol for the infinite possibilities that are hidden behind every door. Similar to "Night on earth", but as a documentary. This film delves into the moods, opinions and cultures of the different countries and thus paints a picture of the current situation in the respective places.
