SYNOPSIS

Yadou is a clandestine cab driver. Diégui is a high school student, running late for class this morning. She negotiates a fare with Yadou and hops into his car — though she might have been better off walking: the car crawls along like a snail. Winding through the city, the two strike up an unexpected bond, trading thoughts on Dakar’s transformation.
