A Taxi Driver (bcSunday)

May 1980, A taxi driver named Man-seob in Seoul, comes across an offer too good to be true. If he drives a foreign passenger from Seoul down to Gwangju and back, he’ll be paid the unthinkable sum money – enough to cover several months of unpaid rent. Without stopping to ask the details, he picks up the German reporter Peter and sets off along the highway. There they encounter students and ordinary citizens taking part in large-scale demonstrations against the government. Man-seob, alarmed by the danger in the air, pleads with Peter to go quickly back to Seoul. But Peter ignores him, and begins shooting with his news camera. As time passes the situation grows more and more serious, and Man-seob keeps thinking of his young daughter at home all alone.
