Each person has a story, with multiple clues interspersed in parallel, the plot is not complicated, and the lines are full of highlights. Everyone is looking for, lost in the search, and re-experience the meaning of life in the loss.

I met the same... um... taxi driver, but this time I let him take me to his brother's hotel, which turned out to be less of a hotel and more of a... more of a brothel really.
