Thomas, about fifty years old, works as a taxi driver by night. He lives with his wife, Maria, and his teenage son, Tassos. He has studied literature, a subject he loves, but has never managed to live up to his expectations of himself. Without even realizing it, he is experiencing the frustration of his suppressed creativity. When one of his customers commits suicide, Thomas is prompted to confront everything he’s kept buried inside for too long, and realize the shortcomings of his life. When he meets Eleni, his client’s lost daughter, he sees in her a way out of his deadened life and becomes romantically obsessed with her.
