Abandoning his clichéd and stifling New York City life, he buys a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia in search of life-changing experiences. A chance meeting with an enigmatic Russian leads Stasys to a documentary project – the murder of a mysterious Mongolian model that implicates a prime minister and his jewel-hoarding wife. Unravelling the truth takes Stasys deeper through the murky swamp of extreme corruption, death, Islamophobia and media manipulation. Will he ever figure out the meaning of life or find a decent espresso?Room: Earth (Level 1)
