Marina, Alla and Viktoria are taxi drivers in one of the fastest and toughest cities in the world Moscow. These are not just any taxis, these are the Pink Taxis created especially for women and driven by women. Making there way through the deep of the night in the breathtakingly beautiful city, the women taxi drivers pine for their lost loves and youth. Every day, the new generation of women is sitting on the back seat of their taxis. These women seem to live in a different Russia: modern, successful, untroubled.
