Learning To Drive - Fahrstunden fürs Leben (2014)
Die New Yorker Schriftstellerin Wendy erlebt einen Schock, als ihr Mann sie verlässt. Nach 21 Jahren Ehe fällt es ihr schwer, plötzlich auf eigenen Füßen zu stehen. Doch Wendy lässt sich nicht unterkriegen und beschließt, Fahrstunden beim indischen Taxifahrer Darwan zu nehmen – schließlich muss sie mobil sein, um ihre Tochter Tasha in Vermont besuchen zu können. Im Verlauf der Fahrstunden kommt es zu einem regen Austausch zwischen den beiden so unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeiten – Wendy ist impulsiv und wurde gerade verlassen, Darwan ist streng und steht kurz vor seiner Hochzeit. So sind Fahrlehrer und –schülerin zwar nicht immer einer Meinung, doch worauf es im Leben wirklich ankommt, darüber sind sie sich ziemlich schnell einig, zumal Darwan eigentlich ein sanftmütiger Typ ist…
