Plot
The story of an illiterate man and his family, whose existence depends on his income as a horse cab driver. When one of his horses is killed by an automobile, and when it is clear that neither justice nor charity will prevail, the man begins a slow slide into despair.
Sinekatalog’s take
A grim social drama about a horse-cab driver whose livelihood and dignity unravel after a single loss. It is sincere and sombre, aimed at viewers drawn to stories of poverty and quiet despair.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
