Tianjin Driver explores the city of Tianjin through the eyes of a cab driver. As she speaks about her daily work, we partake in a variety of scenes unfolding in Tianjin: from a quiet morning by the Haihe River, to the bustling central business district, from the traditional craftspeople in Tianjin's Ancient Culture Street, to a residential neighborhood where people enjoy street barbeque at the end of the day.  

Questions are pondered: How does a woman experience the work of a cab driver? Is this experience in Chinese culture different than in western culture, where driving a cab is still a “man's job”? What does it mean to navigate a modern metropolis without a GPS? How do people in China relate to their work? 

Through exploring these themes, Tianjin Driver in the end is as much the portrait of a person, as it is a portrait of the city.
