The Exam

We’ve all been there. When you’re twenty, everyone – aunts, teachers, neighbours, friends – keep asking you the same questions: who do you want to be? What do you want to do? Are you in love? Bastek knows. He wants to study Fine Arts but things are a little complicated. His crush? Brother’s fiancé. His brother? A drug dealer. Then there is this professor who offered to help with exams, but nothing’s free, and a cop hot on his brother’s heels. Fingers crossed for Bastek’s life choices.
