Lucía, a middle-aged single woman working as an IT programmer, faces a challenging situation when she loses her job in a struggling market. Deciding to take a drastic turn in her life, she buys a taxi and its license. In her new role as a taxi driver, she encounters a variety of interesting people and discovers a newfound freedom and confidence she never imagined. This transformation is superbly depicted through the costumes designed by Clara Bilbao.
