Solo is an African immigrant, living in North Carolina, driving a taxi in order to support his family. His life is a constant struggle to survive. He meets William, an old man filled with regrets, who hired the driver to take him to Blowing Rock, a mountain peak where objects fly upward, due to the wind currents.
Bill only asks for a one way ride, and Solo assumes that he is planning a suicide. He introduces Bill to his wife and stepdaughter, Alex, to try to convince him that life is worth living. I found the story a little too sentimental, but because Souleymane Sy Savane and Red West are so good in the lead roles, the sappy aspect can be forgiven. The men slowly build a trusting relationship and I was impressed by their wonderful chemistry. The ninety one minutes breeze by and Goodbye Solo is well worth your time.
