Direction

A small business owner, who drives a taxi to make ends meet, learns at a meeting with his banker that the bribe he plans to pay to save his shop from getting a loan has doubled. The Ethics Commission, which is reviewing his complaint against the banker for extortion, will also want a share of the bribe. The merchant, who was forced to the edge of reason, shot and killed the banker, and then drank the gun and committed suicide. The incident sparked a national discussion about civil society on the radio. At the same time, six taxi drivers and their passengers are driving in the dark night, each hoping to find the direction to a better life. The entire film takes place within 24 hours. People sit in taxis to have affairs, murder, or run into the unknown of their lives... Each story is shot hand-held in one shot. In order to realize this technology, the director took the crew to drive through the streets of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. There are very few films produced in Bulgaria every year, and the film industry lacks national financial investment. However, this does not weaken the artistic achievement of this low-cost film. Director Steven Komandarev is using his own practice to find a direction for the Bulgarian film industry and real life.
