EL TAXISTA FUL

Jose R. develops a routine as a cab driver on the streets of Barcelona. His life would be the same as any other 52-year-old cab driver if it weren’t for the fact that the taxis he drives are stolen. Jose has to steal in order to work.

How can such an absurd situation develop?

Is he simply crazy or a worker out of a job who has been doomed by the system and forced into this situation?
