Taxi
The story follows Mariam, a young call center employee preparing for her CSS exams (5:59), who has to rush home late at night because her mother is sick (2:44). After navigating unsafe streets and encountering creepy men (4:00), she is relieved to get a ride from a female cab driver named Rano (6:29). During the journey, Rano shares her inspiring story of taking over her late husband's taxi to support her children's education (9:00).
