Misunderstandings
The other day I went to this cinema I love which has two rooms, one on the groundfloor and one upstairs. There were only two people in the hall, a mother and her child. Then the guy who checks the tickets showed up and with the most serious face asked me: "Is it for The Ugly Duckling?". The lady waiting in the hall burst into laughter. I answered no, I was actually there to see "Fill the void" (a film about the Jewish ultra-orthodox community by Rama Burshtein, herself a member of that community). "Upstairs", he said. As I took the stairs I heard him speaking to the lady: "I saw the child and thought you three were together...", as if excusing himself.
I love the Ugly Duckling. Maybe next week.
