Marina, Alla and Viktoria are taxi drivers in one of the fastest and toughest cities in the world. While Moscow is drowning in chaos, their PINK TAXI is a place of ease and sereneness. The three friends are good listeners, and this is what their female customers appreciate. With them they feel safe and start chatting about fashion, career and of course - men.

Men, who are not allowed to ride with Marina, Alla and Viktoria. ï¿*The weaker sexï¿*, they laugh while out for a drink after work, and they wish them to be stronger. Because their own husbands were thrown off course after Perestroika and economic depression they drank themselves to death or ran off with a younger woman. So, the three have to bring up their kids by driving taxis. They have sons who rather dream of being football stars than work hard for a living and daughters who hopefully don't repeat their mother's mistakes with their first love. Every day, a new generation of women is sitting on the back seat of their taxis, women who seem to live in a different Russia: modern, successful, untroubled ï¿* their dreams have all come true and they've even found true love, they say.

Marina, Alla and Viktoria are happy for them, they get them through the city safely and give good advice for their lives. They stick together, sing along with romantic songs on the radio and keep on dreaming of the day a man comes who is not a "fat and lazy tomcat".
