Taxi Blues

A gruff taxi driver and a struggling musician engage in a series of humorous confrontations after the musician fails to pay his fare, ultimately leading to an unlikely bond between the two.

In old Russia, Ivan, a hard-working and sometimes brutish taxi driver, longs for the days of Communism. One night, he meets Alexi, a free-spirited musician and heavy drinker, who fails to pay his fare. This sparks a tumultuous relationship between the two men, with Ivan trying to extract payment from Alexi through various means. Despite their differences, Ivan becomes drawn to Alexi's carefree nature. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when Alexi becomes an overnight sensation in America, and Ivan is left to grapple with his own feelings of jealousy and nostalgia.
