Synopsis

Yousef, a resolutely benevolent Iraqi cardiologist, escapes his horrifying past by driving a Sydney taxi, making a living and uplifting lives. As he pilots the taxi, Yousef cajoles his despondent fare, office-drone Grogan, hoping to break him from his malaise. Grogan is drawn to the taxi driver against all his instincts, as he directs them to his destination: Villawood Detention Centre.
