The Nightrider(2021)

The Nightrider is a Swedish drama following a socially isolated man who works as a driver in the suburbs of Stockholm. As he ferries passengers through the city's outlying areas, his cynicism deepens, fueled by what he perceives as the pretentiousness and willful blindness of those around him. His clients see only the driver—a faceless service provider—never the person behind the wheel. The film explores themes of urban alienation and invisible labor, capturing the quiet resentment of someone caught between society's margins. Through his nightly routes, The Nightrider examines how proximity and distance coexist in modern life, where connection remains elusive despite constant human contact.
