The Taxi Thief

Jose R. carries out his routine as taxi-driver in the city of Barcelona. His life would be no different to that of any other 52-year-old taxi-driver if it weren’t for the fact that he drives stolen taxis. Jose steals to make a living. How can one find oneself in such an absurd situation? Is he mad, or is it the system and its logic that inexorably drive a jobless worker to such a paradox?
