Zza szyby podgladam jak umiera sarna mloda – Angelika Cygal
In a small room, the breaths of Helka, yesterday’s bride, mingle one last time with those of her family. Helka leaves her family home and walks through the village to her husband’s house. She carries a quilt filled with goose feathers. Despite the silence of her journey, Helka hears what has never been spoken.
