Thank you for the tip!
In rainy day, a foreigner student enters a cab to return home, but the old, possible senile driver misses every one of his directions, feeling terribly insulted in the process. The two parties end up at the police station, with the commissaire acting as final judge.
This was sorta crazy and mostly boring, but the ending made me genuinely chuckle. So all in all I guess this shortie passed the test as ok. Can't recommend it though.
-----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE :
[1935] [3p] [Fiction] [Not Recommendable]
-----------------------------------------------
???????? 75 Short Masterpieces <--

Gracias por la propina!
En un día lluvioso, un estudiante extranjero sube a un taxi para regresar a su casa, pero el viejo y posiblemente senil conductor erra cada una de sus indicaciones y termina sientiéndose terriblemente insultado en el proceso. Ambas partes terminan en la estación de policía, con el comisario haciendo de juez final.
Esto fue algo loco y en su mayor parte aburrido, pero el final me hizo reír de verdad. Considerándo todo, supongo que este corto pasó la prueba como ok. Pero no puedo recomendarlo.

At least you didn't suffer long! I hope you find one that gives you more than just a chuckle at the end. Great review, Federico!
