- rzzzt 4y agoIs there a movie about a similar story? We've talked about something vaguely resembling Kent's post with my mom last week and I don't think she has seen this in writing (certainly not on HN, ha).
- zulko 4y agoThere is a 2022 french movie with the same premise (an elderly woman on her way to a hospice asks the taxi driver to drive her through Paris): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14586118/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14586118/
