In this episode Polina opens her street story-shop. She sits on a bench on the main boulevard of Tel Aviv with a handmade cardboard sign saying: "I sell stories. 1 cool story = 5 nis". She has written a list of every country she has been to, so people could choose the story from a particular country to hear. She has a lot of great stories to sell as she is a world explorer with many unique experiences.
She is a bit nervous at the beginning but with the first clients starting to arrive at her shop she starts to enjoy the process a lot. Her first client is a very young arab guy who came to Tel Aviv from a remote southern city to work as a gay prostitute. Finding this deeply saddening, she realises that by selling stories she is going to collect even more. That is a very true assumption as in her story-shop Polina meets many interesting people. She finds one man especially interesting and they start to date. Her art project turns into an amazing experience that helps to explore the city's canvas, meet people, get an amazing photoshoot session and earn cash that she so much needs to pay for her daily expenses.
The bestselling story appeared to be the one from the nudist spa in Germany for which several groups of people paid very good money. That's what happens when nudity is combined with politics.
