| Named after the Polish word for
white borscht, this thick soup of drama involves a youngish widow,
Halina, her impaired 15-year-old daughter, Iwona, and Iwona’s
newborn baby. It’s right before Christmas, and Halina desperately
wants the baby to be baptized, and so drags her daughter through
the snow, looking for the baby’s father, whose name Iwona either
won’t or can’t divulge. Iwona eventually points a shaky finger at
several men, including her mother’s sometime lover and a local
soldier. Complicating matters is the suicide of Halina’s husband,
on the rail-line where he once worked. |
