In Seoul, there are 70 thousand taxies including 20 thousand corporate taxies and 40 thousand private taxies threading across the city. In most cases, a taxi driver works 12 hour shifts and must fulfill 20 to 30 trips a day in order to take small winnings after paying up 80 to 100 dollar due. The taxi drivers go every nook and corner of the city with a variety of passengers in their side or the back seat. In the summer of the year, I became a taxi driver driving one of the 70 thousand taxies of Seoul…

is close to ‘Seoul’ and ‘the Apocalypse’ rather than ‘taxi’ and ‘blues’. Seoul is covered with numerous symbols and vagueness, reminiscent of the phrases of the Revelation, as we look through the eyes of the taxi driver, the observer.

The film is to show the passenger’s subordinated daily lives in the cityscapes.
