Károly accidentally stabs his wife, Vera in the stomach while slicing bananas for the breakfast cereal. How does their morning build up towards this sad event? Károly and Vera are freelancers, they live their daily life in survival mode, struggling with difficult working conditions, and constant financial uncertainty. The accident happens as the couple prepares breakfast before Károly is to teach his online English class, and they are discussing Vera’s job interview invitation, a possible chance for her financial breakthough. Shocked but not panicked, the couple responds with practiced efficiency—as if handling a routine setback. While Vera sits on the kitchen floor bleeding and awaiting the ambulance, Károly sits down next to her and does what he knows best: he opens his laptop, logs into TEAMS, and begins teaching his English class.
