Olga has just lost her husband, a soldier fighting for the rebels. Her father sits at the table, smoking. “What is this war good for? What? What?” he sobs. Ina, comforts Olga. It's Ina's job to deliver the news to the widow when a soldier is killed. If they are lucky, and bureaucracy is on their side, Olga will get a small, monthly compensation from the rebel government. But this money will not be enough to feed a family.
