La Passenger

A french short filmed in Newcastle upon Tyne about a paedophile priest who's escaped to England and now works as a taxi driver. Life is boring and predictable until one night, he has an unusual passenger. Shot fully in a taxi.

Written and Directed by Reuben Abraham, funded by the Film Council UK and supported by Northern Film & Media. This film is meant for the small screen - to be played on plasma-screens in bars and clubs on a continuous loop. You won't understand the film or notice the little details in the story unless you watch it a couple of times - just like in a bar while you sip your drink absent-mindedly.
