An anthology of six short films linked by a common character: Cosmos, a Greek immigrant working as a cab driver in Montreal. Other characters include a nervous filmmaker on his way to an interview, former lovers who meet five years later, a man who may or may not be a serial killer, a man on his way to take an HIV test, and a birthday girl stood up by her boyfriend.
