Internationally acclaimed director Jafar Panahi drives a cab through the vibrant streets of Tehran, picking up passengers. His camera, placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio, captures a spirited slice of Iranian society while effortlessly redefining the borders of comedy, drama and cinema. “A film of quiet but profound outrage, laughing on the surface but howling in anger just beneath.” - Variety. Golden Berlin Bear winner. (Persian spoken)
