WOMAN But it was minor cancer.
JOURNALIST Minor cancer?
WOMAN I mean, it was nothing horrible, she just had a small scar on her forehead.
JOURNALIST A small scar?
WOMAN I think she went on a work trip somewhere.
JOURNALIST Where? Don’t you remember?
WOMAN Well, she didn’t tell us in detail about that.
JOURNALIST Do you remember anything else?
WOMAN I don’t think so.
JOURNALIS I see.
The Journalist turns off the recorder and approaches the Operator. They discuss the notes and review video fragments on the camera. The Woman sits there for a while.
WOMAN Sorry, when do you think all this will be over?
Journalist and Cameraman don’t hear her question. The Woman sits there for a while longer and then goes out into the next room.
