Incredible Driver (2015)

A public taxi driver works in Haifa – the big city from the early morning til the evening. He picks a various number of people and with different type of personalities, starting with a Russian immigrant woman, going to the weed smuggler, to picking up a racist orthodox Jew who hates Arabs and then a battered Arab woman that fled from her violent husband and heads to the battered women shelter for protection, but it does not protect her from assault, in addition to his daily worries such as the chasing of the traffic police and his wife’s needs.

Through this all, a reality unfolds, about the life Arab and Jewish society in this country. All these characters pass through the lens of our overcoming psychological, social and political barriers that tries to connect us to reality that we live in and could easily be transferred to the dark we watch in this outstanding play.
