運転者

Synopsis

No spoilers

Shuichi, an insurance salesman, is in a difficult position at work because of a string of canceled contracts, and he complains that he alone is unlucky. Then a strange taxi appears, one that turns its passengers' “luck.” Through conversations with the driver and what happens at each place they go, Shuichi's idea of seeing good and bad luck as simple hits and misses is shaken. A story that traces connections from the past that cannot be seen in what is in front of us, and how everyday actions relate to later opportunities.

For Times Like These

• People who feel their efforts are not being rewarded
• People who think their trouble at work is bad luck that only they have
• People who want to think about the relation between daily actions and the opportunities that come around
