A Waiting Room
Ko Naing flees Myanmar to avoid the military service law and settles in Bangkok, a city known as a paradise for foreigners. But for him, life is far from ideal. As a Myanmar national, he struggles with prejudice and the irresponsible actions of his own people abroad. The rising inflation of Myanmar’s currency adds to his worries, while homesickness and loneliness begin to take their toll. His sense of reality starts to fade as he questions how long he can endure this uncertain and isolated life in a foreign land.
