Resumen
Drowning on Dry Land is a 1999 American drama-romance film directed by Carl Colpaert. The movie centers around the unconventional relationship that unfolds between Raj, a quiet and guarded taxi driver, and Clara, a woman of unknown motives who hires him for an impromptu cross-country journey.

The contrast between their personalities and the vast, desolate landscapes they traverse serves as a metaphor for the vast distances that can exist between two people despite physical proximity.
