Logline
The back seat of David’s car serves as a psychiatrist’s couch upon which passengers divulge their inner secrets. From their confessions, whether light and amusing or dramatically moving, emerges the film’s central theme, the multiple facets of being a woman.
Synopsis
Shot within the confines of a car, the film closes no doors, but rather opens up to a plurality of destinies and slices of life at the crossroads between fact and fiction. Short sketches, either improvised or based on true-life experiences, blend with short fictions to add breadth to the whole.
