Overview
Nielsen is a quiet, respectable man who has always worked at the same bank and is turning 60 today—but he is also a man with a secret, a passion. Only when he meets Frank, a different kind of energetic taxi driver, does he manage to take control of his own life again and come to terms with the past that has held him back.
