The lights of the night define the borders of the city
The car as shelter in the night
The taxi driver and his nocturnal fare
The night taxi as confessional box
The radio as contact device for the night driver
The voyeuristic view from the car
The beneficiaries and victims of electricity
The animals in the city wake through the night
The conspiracy of the waking
The moment in which the sky reverts
10 locations in the city as a stage for the night
10 taxis as auditoriums
10 actors as chauffeurs
The conversations as scripts
Shortwave as background noise
The windshield as stage detail
The headlights as stage lighting
Current events as plot
The taxi tour as a stage performance
