Argument:
Do you know your grandmother? ” I fondly remember the summer when I truly got to know my grandmother. ” At a wooden table, under our vine, I spoke with a soul swallowed by the Soviet steppe.” This show explores the deep wounds left by a childhood characterized by struggle, cold, hunger, satiety, tears, lice, mother, and love. This universe was born from the memories of a soul that I am fortunate to call Grandma.
