Hail Gin's taxi cab and sit back for the ride you will ever have! When we first meet Jindriska/Gin, she is a fresh York cabbie, a struggling Czech immigrant alternately buoyed-up or battered by life in the guts of the great city. Though committed to Talibe, a legal immigrant from West Africa, she lives with Gloria, a Cuban lesbian designer and very small Josito, the infant of Gloria's jailed good friend. Through Alex, the Russian owner of the garage area on 47th Neighborhood, Gin rents a succession of yellowish taxis of dubious consistency and origin. Thus she complies with a collection of individuals: hookers, Lotharios, fraudsters, friends, enthusiasts, hangers-on, and an architect who once imagined changing the skyline of Manhattan. "The gravity of big places captures us," creates Pekarkova, "and when people let themselves be lured... their inescapable butt-falls can be produced gentler only by their love for the City; for the unique and thorny globe." Yet despite Gin's philosophical musings, it's about the money: Everybody needs it. Gin drives at all time through the canyons of skyscrapers, along night streets that glisten with slithering rainbows of motor unit petrol and rainwater, seeking fares, trying to save enough cash to pay the rent and to survive. Pekarkova's eyesight for telling information, her ironic humor, and her deft ear for dialogue really helps to create a robust tale with a lot of laughs, the one which is rich in incident and comes in time for you to a shattering climax.
