  • Log in or register to post comments

In the heart of San Francisco, two taxicab drivers from the Asian-American community, Jo and Steve, embark on an unexpected quest that will take them through the streets of Chinatown in search of a missing friend, Chan. What seems like an ordinary day quickly turns into a complicated enigma as the two try to unravel the mystery behind Chan's disappearance. As they converse with various colorful characters, from friends and family to strangers on the street, they encounter a series of cultural misunderstandings and comical situations that highlight the dynamics of life in the Asian community.

As night falls and the plot thickens, the film momentarily underscores the realities and tensions faced by the Asian population in the U.S., showcasing their struggles for identity and a sense of belonging. Through amusing and endearing encounters, Jo and Steve's personalities develop, revealing their own dreams, frustrations, and the friendship that binds them. In a game of clues that blends humor with social critique, this story becomes not just a search for a lost friend, but also a reflection on life in a melting pot of cultures. With witty dialogue and a fresh visual style, the narrative captivates the audience from the start, becoming an unforgettable classic of independent cinema.
