Last Ride (Norway) by Fredrik Holmen Lillegraven

Cab driver Helge (30) is out working late one night. Outside a high school reunion party he meets Tiril (30) who begs him for a ride home. First conflicted, he eventually decides to drive her home. Throughout their dialogue we learn that Helge actually went to high school together with Tiril, but worse, confesses to her that she bullied him, marking him as a loser and outsider, which troubles him many years later. Helge stops the car and their different viewpoints escalate to a conflict no one prepared them for, which forces both of them to face a troubled past. Though they were once two opposites in the past, they might not be so different after all.
