Synopsis
New York City. JFK airport. A young woman jumps into the backseat of a yellow taxi, the cabbie throwing the vehicle into drive as the two head out into the night toward Manhattan... and strike up the most unexpected conversation.
DADDIO celebrates the power found in those rare moments of pure human connection, even with the most unlikely person. This highly contained, yet kinetic character-study -- encapsulated in one single cab ride -- explores the complexities inherent to the secrets we keep, particularly the ones locked away on our phones. It’s about truth and illusion, how we so effortlessly substitute one for the other out of survival. It’s about the hurtful memories of childhood, how past trauma can manifest itself in the most profound ways. It’s about the beautiful dance between the pain and poetry that is the human experience.
