The Driver (2022)

Other name: 더 드라이버, Deo Deulaibeo

Description:

"The Driver" tells the compelling story of an individual facing the sudden upheaval of unemployment. After being unexpectedly laid off from their long-term job, the protagonist struggles with the harsh reality of finding new work and maintaining financial stability. Out of necessity, they reluctantly pivot into the demanding world of surrogate driving, a profession that requires navigating the endless streets and diverse clientele.

This new role forces a profound shift in perspective. What were once mundane details—the vast array of road traffic signs governing every turn and intersection—begin to take on a deeper, more symbolic meaning. As the protagonist traverses countless routes, these signs evolve from simple navigational aids into poignant metaphors for life's unpredictable detours, new directions, and moments of uncertainty. The film explores how this unexpected journey through the urban landscape helps them reinterpret their own life's path, ultimately finding purpose and direction amidst personal adversity.
