Choi San-keung is a sleep-deprived taxi driver plagued by nightmarish visions, and a danger to anyone who sets foot in his taxi. Following a particularly dangerous driving incident, he finds himself under the care of maverick psychiatrist, Dr. Man, who has some serious issues of his own…

Grimmfest Says: A genuine tour de force from the multi-talented Nick Cheung, who writes, directs, and takes the lead role of the traumatised taxi driver in this dazzling and disorientating Freudian psychodrama. A visually astonishing study of repressed memory and self-lacerating guilt, that unfolds like a thriller and explodes with terrifying images of nightmarish, surreal, visceral horror, before sucker-punching the viewer with an unexpectedly emotive and humane final act of long-denied communication and closure, it’s a constantly challenging, thrilling, and thought-provoking film, with a narrative that will wring your heart dry, and imagery that will set your eyes on fire.
