Mountakha is a Senegalese migrant and a newcomer in Buenos Aires. In Dakar he used to work as a truck driver and he tries to get that job in this new city as well. While working as a street vendor in the meantime, he wonders if his destiny might be related to acting. Some of his new friends have a special bond with cinema.

A film by Andrés GUERBEROFF

Stars: Mountakha Samb, Mohamed Boye, Mouhamet Samb |

Argentine, 2021, Documentary, 1h01min

NOTE BY THE PROGRAMMER
Throughout its history, cinema has repeatedly asked the question "how does one film the Other". In BOROM TAXI, the answer is sensitive and sharp: this debut film manages to bring us close to a state of uncertainty and disorientation, probably similar to that experienced by the characters, who have moved from Senegal to Buenos Aires.
