The Hollywood agent (Gena Rowlands) who thinks her driver (Winona Ryder) could be a star; the Brooklyn bro (Giancarlo Esposito) who bonds with his German-born cabbie (Armin Mueller-Stahl); the blind Parisian (Beatrice Dalle) who, sigh, sees life more clearly than the African (Isaach De Bankole) in the front seat; the Finnish depressive (Matti Pellonpaa) who relates a you-think-you-got-troubles saga -- these are shaggy- dog stories without a tail.
