A small shopping island in a mall, like a coffee to go, but it sells soup. Above the island is a large signboard that reads soup of the day: hodgepodge, on the counter are baskets of four kinds of bread, and a small sign that reads eat with bread. Behind the counter is a full, red mustachioed man - something between Carlson and Abeli at the side of the counter is a huge cauldron of soup, it is covered with a lid, the lid makes the soup steaming. Next to the cauldron is a pouring table, with a stack of disposable soup bowls and a stack of disposable spoons, unusually shaped - they look like grasses. There are two people in line for the soup - a student and a salesperson from a communications salon. The red-haired soup seller has just given a portion of sausage and bread to a thin, gray-haired grandmother in a light suit and low-heeled shoes, walking briskly away. Granny smiles and enjoys the aroma of the soup, while the seller looks at her with tenderness.
