Paradise Now
Our Mongolian intern could not understand why a whole nation can be reduced to this. It is indeed difficult to grasp the condition under which young men and women are forced to such extreme sacrifice, while the whole world waits for the next tragedy. We found that the more we try to explain its history the more her questions grew. Soon both the night and our drinks ended.
