Cab driver Axel wanted to call it a day, but he takes the „fat ride“ from Hamburg to Thuringia that cool, blind Jan wants on the day before Christmas Eve of all days. No one’s home anyway, he tells himself. Of course, he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into when Linh, a roadhouse waitress, joins them on the trip. His blind passenger wants to surprise an Internet acquaintance in Bergroda in the Ore Mountains, which unfortunately will succeed in every way. Linh also has a surprise visit in mind, which is also anything but easy. The fact that Axel, the cab driver, will be held up in the Erzgebirge by a necessary repair, a stolen replacement car and an unexpected romance until the other two have also overcome their worries and hardships is one of the normal Christmas miracles that this „Taxi zur Bescherung“ full of human to all too human emotions brings with it, along with a cheerful and humorous narrative tone. „Unterkriegen is nich,“ says Axel, and in the end he drives away much further than he had ever thought.
