Mantas Alishauskas lives in the neighborhood of Vilnius, where the HBO mini-series "Chernobyl" was filmed. Moreover, his friend worked on the production of the series, so Mantas knew about the upcoming project long before the hype. The Lithuanian himself admits that he is far from the world of cinema and did not even want to watch the series, but still gave us a tour of the filming locations.
