Back 
Fellow Travelers
Three freezing hitchikers, standing on the road in December, reveal part of their souls to a car driver who took them for a ride on a dark winter day. Sharing their life stories they unknowingly compliment one another, even though they have never met and possibly will never meet each other. All that unites them is this one car and its driver who took them for a ride and the same road which all of them are travelling.
