Killing Time

Synopsis

After committing an unspecified act of violence, a young prostitute, frightened and desperate, turns to her mini-cab driver for help. A relaxed but cautious man he wants to help out but is concerned about the risks involved. The ending is deliberately open-ended and the audience can only speculate about the final outcome.

Killing time is a dark, tense, noirish encounter about divided loyalties, morality, race and unspoken desire between two very different individuals struggling to survive on the margins of society. Compelling, stylish and intriguing, killing time is an unusual take on the comfort of strangers.
