SHORT DROP

Bartholomew, a retired civil servant, takes a leisurely drive downtown, where Shanice, mistakes his car for a taxi. After much resistance, he agrees to take her to her destination. Along the way, they encounter a wide diversity of Trinidadian characters, from cross-dresser Hott Pepper to gang member Tan Tan. The unlikely band of strangers unite through this impromptu taxi ride, fulfilling Bartholomew’s fundamental desire for connection.
