Where To?
A young woman is trying to make a living in Croatia by driving taxi.
Ljiljana is a young woman who drives a taxi in Zagreb, capital of Croatia. Apart from the initial surprise when they meet a female taxi driver, most passengers find her likable and they open up to her. Driving with Ljiljana through the city and listening to conversations she’s having with a wide range of travelers, we discover the condition in which transition countries find themselves in when they're facing backsides of capitalism which leads to rising economic emigration but also her personal story that will make us ask ourselves where we are going.
