A child-like Senegalese cab driver working the mean streets of Winston-Salem, NC takes an obsessive interest in a morose fare, decides the latter is bent on committing suicide (through an absurd plot contrivance) and decides to try and talk him out of it. His concern is rejected but he persists to the point of obnoxiousness.
Along the way we learn of the real-life troubles the cabbie faces. He was meant to be sympathetic but I had trouble accepting his behavior. If he got this involved with everybody he'd have no time for his own life.
I thought this was misconceived. Performances were good but the material was fatally flawed.
