Latvian Coyote
7.5
“Somewhere in a forest by the eastern border of the European Union, illegal immigrants meet a local resident Pepe in the middle of the night. Is this a coincidence or a diligently crafted plan?”
An absurd game of “finding happiness” is being played by local Latvian coyotes* and illegal immigrants on the Russian and the European Union border. It is a game with no winner – all participants are driven to play by the sense of despair. While one side leaves home and undertakes a perilous journey to the other side of the globe, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in a free country, the other side risks their freedom to earn a chance to stay right where they are, in their homeland. *coyote – someone who smuggles illegal immigrants
