A school cafeteria at half past ten: at a long table, seven grandmothers sit with a plate of steamed buns, oranges, bananas and cups of tea in front of them; in the middle of the row one folding chair is empty, with a red sweater draped over its back; a sixteen-year-old girl with a backpack stands at the end of the table, surprised, as the nearest grandmother holds out a bun to her.
